Aiki Connections 2026 – Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu

Once again a great #DaitoRyu seminar with lots to process. Quite technical, but always with the right position, control, not muscling through.

Should be compulsory for everyone in #aikido ;)

A reminder that this #DaitoRyu seminar is coming up this Saturday in Helsinki! Don’t miss it.

#aikido #jujutsu #martialArts

Thoroughly recommend the upcoming #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu seminar in Helsinki (Daito Ryu being the precursor of #aikido and #hapkido). Organised by the #Sasuga dojo, they are one of the few places on the planet that still does this Japanese #jujutsu in the oldschool ways. It's eye-opening practise that benefits whatever martial art you do.

The theme this time is combinations, counter-techniques and randori.

31.1 13:00–, at VMA Helsinki (Vellamonkatu 30).

Daito-ryu aikijujutsu-seminaari: Tekniikoiden kombinaatiot, vastatekniikat ja randori

Event in Helsinki, Finland by Mikko Vallila on Saturday, January 31 2026

Last Saturday the #Sasuga dojo celebrated 30 years of #DaitoRyu Aikijujutsu in Finland (the parent art of #aikido — one of Sasuga's senseis introduced it to the country). An amazing event with people from over the decades, food created by renowned Korean chef Joon, a large trailer sauna, courtesy of #Palosauna, and a special batch of beer made by #HIISI, branded 'Aiki' — with a label design by yours truly.

On the Sunday after I, uhm, did not go to practise...

Huh, I hit 100% in the #MartialProfile app ‘fitness gauge’. I’ll take that win, regardless of whether it’s actually true or not :D

#aikido #iaido #jujutsu (#DaitoRyu).

Have anyone tried practising aikido-kind (or similar) techniques against kickboxing (or any street style fighting) punches and kicks?
especially the real speed punches?
incl. series of punches?

it sounds like extremely interesting "don´t try this at home" thing to do 😂😂

do people practise someting like this? especially here in Finland?
(without going down on the floor for bjj or at least without choking)

I continued this today with 90 minutes of aikido by #Tissier at 09:30 in the morning. Then a four hour #DaitoRyu seminar on knife defences. Needless to say, I’m a tad knackered.

@3morereps oh and in relation to #aikido, #DaitoRyu is very clearly related. So not something 'completely different'. But curriculum is larger than what is usually taught in aikido and, yes, approach is a bit different.

I find their Sasuga's seminars inform my aikido to a great amount. In other words: I better understand what I'm (supposed to be) doing in aikido. The core.

At the same time, the flow in aikido is sometimes very enjoyable.
