ZNKR #iaido 1st kyu (one below 1st dan).

(I do two iaido styles, in case someone gets confused!)

Great news! #JussiEkholm has been invited to an afternoon of Japanese #swords in Helsinki, 29th Mar, 4pm. He is a well known collector of swords and is visible on international forums. This will not be about practise, but about learning the beauty and crafts behind the #katana.

A must for anyone into #iaido, #kenjutsu or even #aikido. I will definitely be there, so hope to meet some of you then. At the #Nishi dojo.

Looking forward to another #Aikido and #Iaido seminar with Yelitza Cuevas sensei May 1st-3rd at Two Rivers Aikikai in Portland, Oregon.

Would be nice to do some #Aikido or #iaido in Barcelona while there (I visited one dojo during a previous visit, but can’t remember which!) but sadly this time I probably won’t have time (slim chance for Thursday) and might be tricky getting a gi and hakama to fit into carryon luggage…

It was a huge pleasure to be able to share some of #Nishio’s #iaido with these chaps (and a bit of #aikido too). At the Nishi dojo in Helsinki, and also the 58th dojo I’ve visited.

They learnt quickly and with great spirit.

If you are interested in trying out a related japanese sword art my dojo has #Iaido classes:

I have not done much Iaido personally, but our dojo does work to be a welcoming community!

On 25.2 there will be a chance to learn some basics about Nishio Ryu #iaido / Aiki Toho. I’ll be leading a practise at the Nishi dojo in Helsinki (the name of the dojo is a coincidence). For anyone doing #aikido and would be keen to connect their practise with the sword and Iai, or those doing sword stuff and interested in Nishio’s unique approach. It is quite beautiful and fun.

Please let me know! Would love to see some more people. No cost.

What do the tsuba, tsuka, and sageo on a katana really do? Shogo breaks it down, then shows you in action with a modern iaidō kata. Edo-era form, modern martial insight. Respect the blade.

What Tsuba Ring, Tsuka-maki Wrapping, and Sageo String Are Really For

Let’s talk katana. Ever wondered what all the parts are for? Shogo breaks it down and shows an iaidō kata, so you’ll see it in action.
