Today, Raman attended the You Sports Erasmus+ Evening, organised by Léargas, looking into how Erasmus+ opportunities could support the development of Takemusu Aikido Society. While our head instructor was busy with administrative work, Jan used this chance to apply the knowledge he had gained from his recent Erasmus+ Mobility trips at the Gothenburg Aikido Club. He taught two sessions today. The first one is the outdoor class in Ringsend Park, where we covered Jo Suburi and Roku no Kata:

    • Renzoku Uchikomi
    • Menuchi Gedan Gaeshi
    • Menuchi Ushirozuki
    • Gyaku Yokomen Ushirozuki 
  • Roku no Jo Kata

During the main class at Ringsend & Irishtown Community Centre, we concentrated on the 4th kyu techniques:

  • Tai no Henko
  • Tai no Henko Ki no Nagare
  • Morotedori Kokyuho

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. The mix of advanced, first-time visitors and our regular members (slightly fewer number than usual due to cancelled trains from Dublin) created an exciting atmosphere for practice. 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. Come train with us and grow through the art...
