News from Kimusubi Dojos

Centers of the Universe Despite all the complications – Easter holidays, hotel mis-bookings, high-season travel and hotel costs – it was a wonderful 4 day gathering in Guejar Sierra. Everyone contributed in their own way – especially the non-aikidokas, Alicia, Eva, Valentina just by their presence, comments and humor. As it should be, the agenda consisted only of aikido, with eating, drinking and siestas in between. How much time the spanish eating takes, and when it begins is a cultural thing…better not say anything about that. Again, just to take the teachings of Pedro H („jump around like a child“ mainly from ryote ), Jörg ( „how to pass through…

Looking back on Kimusubikai 2017 by Matti Joensuu

Thankful for the Kimusubikai 2017 It is the thankfulness that I want to share after the very intensive aikido week at aikido forum kishintai and Sports University in Cologne. Endo Sensei taught the impossible things to teach: relaxation, concentration…and how is one supposed to teach Calm Mind?

Pictures Kimusubikai 2016 aikido forum kishintai, Cologne

Kimusubikai 2016 Remember, in March 2016 Endo Seishiro Shihan visited Cologne and held the Kimusubikai Yudansha seminar. The event has been perfectly organized by Matti Joensuu and Gerhard Treffner and it was great honor for us to welcome Aikidoka from all over Europe. The concentrated atmosphere in Keiko as well as the beatiful performences of the NoTalent show has been unique and everyone was deeply moved. We are very happy to welcome all of you next year as Endo Shihan has announced to visit Cologne in 2017 again.

Interview with Ariga Kaname Sensei

Interview with Ariga Kaname October 2015 1. Tell us a little bit about yourself My name is Ariga Kaname and because it is the habit of Japanese people, they call me Ariga-san. I started Aikido 27 years ago at the age of 15. From the beginning I followed Endo Sensei and Shimizu Sensei. After I graduated at university I had a part-time job. I had a lot of time to tavel and participated in many seminars of Endo Sensei also in Europe.
