 🍀 Takemusu Aikido Society at the Balbriggan St. Patrick’s Day Parade 🍀 Today, we were happy to join the  Balbriggan St. Patrick’s Day Parade again, along with many other local clubs and community groups, celebrating  Saint Patrick’s Day  in a fantastic atmosphere. As we walked through the streets, our members demonstrated jo suburi , sharing the spirit of traditional Aikido weapons practice with the crowd. A. At each stop along the route, we performed 13 no Jo Awase , so spectators could see the precision, timing, and blending that are central to Aikido. When we reached the stage, the MC remembered our group from last year. He recalled our past demonstration and asked if we had something to show again. Of course, we did.

If you would like to try Aikido yourself, we practise every Saturday at the Balbriggan Clubs Community Centre ,...
