It was truly awesome to see Matsuoka Hiroshi Sensei and my friends at Omeikai Kimori Dojo Silicon Valley.

In case you are wondering, Aikido is amazing in NZ.

If you're in the South Auckland area and want to give Aikido a try pop into the Ramarama Hall on a Monday or Wednesday evening.

We had the honor of training with Kokikai this week. Wonderful opportunity to learn from each other’s styles. We’re grateful for the friendship.

Happy International Women's Day to my fellow women martial artists! May we continue to inspire and be inspired by our strength, joy, and ki!

You’ll also be happy to see short clips of both Doshu and Waka Sensei who tirelessly provide the structure and energy across our international community. We are very fortunate to have their teaching.

I’ve answered this question a few times. Martial arts training requires regular and sincere practice. Pick something you love and do your best.
