Visiting Practice at A.K.I. Headquarters, Takeda Dojo
On Friday 17 January I was allowed to join a visiting practice at Takeda Dojo in Yokohama, the headquarters of Aikido Kenkyukai International, which in a sense could be called the centre of aikido in Kanagawa Prefecture.
It was a great pleasure to see Takeda Shihan’s practice in person, something I had watched since my high-school days.
The training method was very soft and placed great emphasis on connection.
I hope to draw on it at Katoh Dojo as well.
