Ringsend Dojo. 2 October 2024

This Wednesday at Ringsend Dojo, we welcomed one of our newcomers from Monday’s session to continue their Aikido journey. Our focus for the evening was on Aiki-ken, the core of Aikido practice, helping develop strong body movements, timing, and blending with an opponent’s energy.

Techniques Covered:

• Shiboru Undo: Practicing the correct gripping and cutting motion.
• Shiboru Undo Irimi: Adding the entering movement to the basic cutting practice.
• Suburi 1-7: A set of fundamental solo sword movements to refine technique and balance.
• Zengogiri: A continuous forward and backward cutting exercise.
• Migi Awase: Partner practice to align movements and understand the flow of techniques.

It was a productive session, with everyone sharpening their Aiki-ken skills and reinforcing the principles of movement that translate to Aikido’s empty-handed techniques.

Join Us

We welcome practitioners of all levels to our classes at Takemusu Aikido Society. Whether you’re interested in Aikido’s weapons training or its powerful empty-handed techniques, there’s always something valuable to learn.
