#aikido — Public Fediverse posts

For the past four years I have been trying to come up with a way to train in the various martial arts I am familiar with (principally American #Kenpo and #Kyusho Jitsu). While shadow training works up to a point, there is no substitute for a physical training partner — for too many reasons to get into here.

My problem is that I moved away from my training cohorts 18 months ago to what seems to be a martial arts desert. I know of only two schools within reach one is in #Aikido, the other is a #KungFu school I’ve never heard of.

Given I’m 76 yo, even if a relatively fit one, what would either school do if I told them I was looking for a training partner? I know what i woud do if it was my school but then I’m not your average martial artist, and I’ve expereinced some instructors who would not take kindly to such requests.

I’m exploring some solutions, but none that would provide me with a uke.

I’m not expecting anyone to come up with a solution for me, I’m just journaling my pain.

Last Saturday the #Sasuga dojo celebrated 30 years of #DaitoRyu Aikijujutsu in Finland (the parent art of #aikido — one of Sasuga's senseis introduced it to the country). An amazing event with people from over the decades, food created by renowned Korean chef Joon, a large trailer sauna, courtesy of #Palosauna, and a special batch of beer made by #HIISI, branded 'Aiki' — with a label design by yours truly.

On the Sunday after I, uhm, did not go to practise...

On Thursday this week, at 7pm, we have an open doors #aikido training session, along with the #Taekwondo club. Anybody can come and try one or both arts. So please do pop round if you're anywhere near #Rajamäki in #Nurmijärvi — or even if you're not! Aikido is a beautiful and deep #martialArt and while it requires patience, is hugely rewarding.

Address: Kievarintie 14, Rajamäki.

Some initial snaps from the world’s first lesson on #Venusian #Aikido at #Finncon. Everyone learnt some great techniques.

Tomorrow’s shomen for the first ever public lesson of #Venusian #Aikido, at #Finncon in #Tampere.

#drwho #DoctorWho

#DoctorWho people: next weekend I will be leading the world’s first ever #Venusian #Aikido practise at the Finnish #Finncon convention. Do you have any related funny anecdotes? Or memories from #DrWho? Any trivia from the series? Or maybe you still call it Venusian #Karate? :) I’m looking for anything and everything.

Heads up! It looks quite likely that I will be teaching #Venusian #Aikido (as seen in #DrWho) for the very first time on Earth, at the #Finncon 2023 sci-fi convention in #Tampere. Not yet 100% confirmed (we need to source tatami mats), but if organised we will be making history.

#DoctorWho

Ik heb best wel wat lijsten: #aikido #boekhandelaar #bibliothecaris #haarlem #schrijver/illustrator #wetenschapper #leerkracht #paardrijden #metdehandafwasser #wasophanger Als je je aangesproken voelt, laat het dan even weten, dan zet ik je erbij.

I wanted to take another stab at an #introduction.

"We are all different people, all through our lives and that's okay. That's good. You've got to keep moving—just so long as you remember all of the people that you used to be."

I have been a:

#manager for a number of years at a couple of business: #DevOps at Heroku and owner of #SRE for Trust at a little business called LinkedIn.

#PsychologicalSafety hipster, grappling with the concept before the phrase entered the zeitgeist

#CraftPerson, striving always to produce more maintainable and readable #software

#idealist inspired early in life by #startrek, forever hoping to move the world closer to that post-scarcity utopia whose margin fades forever and forever when I move.

#ThoughtLeader, self-conscious for wanting so much to make a difference and chock full of #ImpostorSyndrome, creating and running a yearly 3-night #OpenSpaceTechnology summer camp for Ruby developers for about 10 years

shin shin toitsu #aikido practitioner, how I first learned to #meditate 33 years ago.

#teacher of #meditation, #EmotionalIntelligence, and #leadership skills, decades later.

#CatParent to 4... er.... now 5 cats. This is getting out of hand.

#husband and #caregiver to a wife with #HuntingtonsDisease for 10 years until her passing.

#husband, again, 4 years after my first wife's passing—later finding true belonging and peace for the first time in my adult life.

#human who uncomfortably yet eagerly accepts the lessons the world present to him.

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Training while exhausted

Is training while you are exhausted beneficial?
