A couple more quick snaps from our #aikido / business session at #ODDfest / #ODDference.
Is anyone near #Loreley in #Germany? Or anyone know of an #aikido dojo near there I could visit on Saturday? I have several hours to kill there in the evening!
The moment just before the start of our #ODDference / #ODDfest workshop on the connections between #aikido, life, and creating a business.

With feet first, not hands, or worse
A terrified stare

I dont know much
About strikes

Receiving
No clue

We did a whole course on koshi nage tonight: first an educational, then on shomen uchi, then on ryote dori, and then we did the judo equivalent, which brought back some veeery old memories ☺️
It was really nice to understand that it's the same core technique, only the details are different.

Absorbed with issues
No time to plan aiki trips
But now restarted

I am going to be running a workshop on the connections between #aikido and building a business, as part of the #ODDference business event (a prelude to this weekend's #ODDfest). It will be on Thursday at 13:00 in Helsinki, and I'll be joined by the delightful #ElisabetLahti.

I have two free tickets if anyone would be keen to join. Don't worry, we won't be throwing you around or work up much of a sweat :) PM me and let me know why you should get the ticket!
