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…
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? I’m sure that all the about 50 attendees…

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…

Japan – Ein Reisebericht Zazen – Wer nach Japan fliegt, muss sitzen können. Zwölf Stunden Frankfurt Tokyo nostop ist eine nicht zu unterschätzende Herausforderung. Umgeben von polarer Nacht will man gern von tanzenden Kirschblüten träumen, sofern die Enge der Flugkonserve denn ein bischen Schlaf zulässt. Unterstützt von den unrhythmischen Flügelschlägen der Boing, lehnt der Nachbar sein…
Kimusubi Dojos expand its activities cross-border. We are acting as the parent organization of any Aikido group or individual that has joined as a member.
I feel that we are very blessed to have gentle teachers – 8 of them are professionals – and gentle students in the federation. We don’t focus on administration, and therefore have no administration costs. Everybody understands that when the yearly membership fee is 30€ per club, there cannot be unnecessary committees, rules, hierarchies or important titles. All the focus goes to aikido, and all the effort to develop quality.
Everything that happens in my life is somehow connected to Aikido. Either the daily experiences change the attitude in training or the insights in training give new perspectives to life. Either way – the small influences or the dramatic shifts – they always happen. It could be as small as the way to hold a dart…
The longer I practice aikido the less I feel I know anything about it. My aikido journey began in a style which I would describe as „collecting techniques“. The more knowledge you aquire, the better you will get, right? My engineer’s mind liked that way of thinking. Until I found out that the illusion of…
It’s very surprising that the federation development in the last 10 years has resulted in 600 individuals, 150 black belts, 10 organisations as members from 4 countries. There has been no marketing, no advertising for the federation. We’ve just been doing what we are good at: Organising aikido seminars and tours. The member dojos and…
When I look at what the guys have written above, I feel embarrassed – for them. High-flying dogmas has never been my interest. There’s this concept, and that principle, and yet another Japanese word to describe a method until all you can say in desperation is “Empty Mind”. I’m natural at that, your average feet-on-the-ground…
