With all the Discord stuff going on, I’d like to raise the existence of the Matrix channel in started for #aikido and #aikijujutsu (and why not #hapkido too). The channel has been … rather quiet. So do pop over if you want to chitchat!

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).

#QOTD from the #MartialArts Alliance Discord server #aikido / #aikijujutsu channel:

“There is no one I’d fear more in an armed engagement than a surgeon. Absolutely no remorse or hesitation.”

Ha ha, brilliant observation by Zekki :D

For testing out, I created a #Matrix room for chatting about #aikido and #aikijujutsu. If you’re on or interested in Matrix, you should find it as #aiki:matrix.org (I believe, I’m still exploring).

Of course I’m also on a similar channel on the Martial Arts Alliance #Discord server (with channels on many #martialArts). The aiki channel there is pretty active.

#Sasuga is putting together a full day seminar on #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu (the parent art of #aikido and #hapkido, amongst others) in #Helsinki, 1st Feb. Their seminars have always been very insightful, and they retain some of the oldest teachings of the art. Thoroughly recommend going.
