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.

✨ 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. Come train with us and grow through the art...
