The navigation to and from the Forum section is still a bit clumsy but we will work on it in the next little while.

Fit stop gym closes its door - but not Mandala

Our landlord, the Fit stop gym has closed its door, but no need to worry. We have an agreement which allows us to stay put and continue our operation undisturbed. We will still be open four times a week same time as usual.

Aikido Video from YouTube

We have embedded some specially chosen videos in the Aikido section to better familiarize people with what Aikido is. These videos were not taken by us but rather selected from the vast selection of Aikido video on YouTube. We have chosen those that we believe show the best what we would like or visitor to remember.

They are located in various sections but for now, in the Aikido section and in the media section.

Take a look and let us know what you think.

A new Picture Gallery

One of the reasons to change the web site was to be able to add pictures more easily. Well we are well on our way. The coopermine image gallery system has been installed. It is not yet fully functionally integrated nor visually but you will find pictures and I will be uploading more and more over the next few weeks.

To get there, goto Phono media menu and select gallery or directly here

So check regularly.

O-Sensei
In Aikido we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any kind of challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally. Let attackers come any way they like and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.
 
O-Sensei
If your opponent strikes with fire, counter with water, becoming completely fluid and free-flowing. Water, by its nature, never collides with or breaks against anything. On the contrary, it swallows up any attack harmlessly.
