#aikido — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #aikido, aggregated by home.social.

  1. 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.

  7. @Setok But I strongly assume that the mats of #Regupol different.
    The Core development of Regupol is the recycling of Rubber products to sheets of milled rubber.
    Those are used for all kinds of sports, acoustics, construction, flooring and stables for horses.
    For sport .e.g the runway of berlin olympic stadium is made from Regupol.
    So those sheets are the core for the mats, and then there is a canvas. For #Judo ususally vinyl, #Aikido perfers cotton to be able to slide on it without burns

  9. Whilst the road from #Hormus is still closed, the #blockade at Regupol has been broken!
    Today we received a delivery of brand-new red (RAL 3027 Raspberry Red) tatami mats with cotton canvas covers.
    Foeldeak in Geretsried is the insider tip for those who have lost hope but still have a need, here is my hint.

    #Aikido only #dojo usually prefer canvas because it is less likely to cause burns when you sliding on the mat. #Judo prefer usually best grip and therefore vinyl.
    Nevertheless, a Aikido #dojo in #austria informed me that there are canvas mats now available again at their dealer.
    Our dealer stated that the available mats are just test mats. Well, so soon we will know if the #tatami #crisis is resolved.

    #Dojo that are not purchasing mats probably ´not experiencing the current #mat #crisis for #aikido #tatami mats with canvas surface
    Ask any dealers in #germany and probably the #eu the one & only supplier is the company Regupol in Bad Berleburg.
    They produce a variety of different products from recycling rubber and also tatami mats. Most of them with vinyl surface but canvas is also available.
    The company is experiencing #quality problems with the canvas color.

  24. #introduction
    Hello! I am Originalbarbas and I have recently joined this server. I am a physicist, currently researching
    #quantum technologies in #Vigo. I build things with lasers on them, basically. Sometimes I also build the lasers too. I have lived in many places, recently in #Scotland and #Catalunya.

    I like
    #videgames (currently playing through Expedition 33), #tabletopgames, #ttrpgs, #manga, #anime, #books (I read everything that I get my hands into, but I specially like #scifi, #fantasy and #murdermysteries), #comics (european mostly, but also american and basically every genre I can find), #bouldering and recently #aikido and #iaido.

    Pleased to be in your nice company!

    P.S. I might write another in Spanish, maybe tomorrow.

  25. Un artiste martial qui m'impressionne beaucoup pour le moment, c'est Ryuji Shirakawa :

    youtube.com/shorts/zglhGL6S0pM

    Il est assez actif sur youtube, il fait beaucoup de vidéos. Je suis toujours fort impressionnés par les #uke qui travaillent avec lui et sont capables de gérer ces chutes pas évidentes.

    Et surtout, il semble beaucoup se marrer en pratiquant.😃

  31. 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.

  32. Always a pleasure to go to #Mathildedal for the annual #aikido weapons seminar, courtesy of Petteri #Silenius (7th Dan). Sadly only one practise for me this weekend as so many things going on. But it’s also a lovely, picturesque village for a day trip with a couple nice restaurants and cafes, their own brewery, a tidy wee harbour and quality bakery.
