Ringsend Dojo. 20 October 2025

Today at Balbriggan Dojo, we were thrilled to host a travel aikidoka visiting us from Sweden during his business trip to Ireland, and a newcomer who stepped onto the mat for the very first time.

We focused on fundamental techniques with intricate details, ensuring everyone could engage and learn at their own level: 🔹 Tai no Henko 🔹 Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare 🔹 Morotedori Kokyuho 🔹 Kosadori Kotegaeshi 1 : "You are welcome" entrance, sitting control 🔹 Kosadori Kotegaeshi 2 : Hand inwards, standing control 🔹 Kosadori Iriminage 1 : "You are welcome" entrance 🔹 Kosadori Iriminage 2 : Hand inwards 🔹 Zagi Kokyuho We welcome practitioners of all levels and ages to join us at Takemusu Aikido Society.

✨ Tonight was our first class since Raman returned from two intense weeks of training as uchideshi in Iwama, Japan—the birthplace of Aikido. We focused on the katadori (shoulder grab) attack, working through fundamental principles refined under Inagaki Sensei’s guidance. The energy on the mats was focused and sharp as we explored: 🔹 Tai no Henko 🔹 Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare 🔹 Morotedori Kokyuho 🔹 Katadori Yonkyo Omote 🔹 Katadori Koshinage with Sankyo 🔹 Katadori Koshinage Shihonage (with & without head insertion) 🔹 Zagi Kokyuho There’s something special about returning to the basics with new depth. Raman brought back not only technique but also spirit—reminding us that every movement, when done with presence and care, can be profound. We’re grateful to have him back and look forward to sharing more of what he learned in the coming weeks!  ✨  Join Us! We welcome everyone—beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

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 tra...
