This year we will be going to Kannon Onsen again.

Three days and two nights filled with training, exchange of ideas, good food and bathing in hot springs. A trip to Japan is still subject to certain restrictions (for details contact the Japanese Embassy or travel agency), but whoever wants to risk it is very welcome.

After a long break there was a reunion with Dojocho Kenta Shimizu in June/July. This time the still ongoing pandemic demanded a lot of improvisation talent from the organizers, but both courses could be held successfully.

Congratulations to the new graduates :

While watching the war atrocities I remembered a saying that I came across somewhere a long time ago.

Morihei Ueshiba apparently once stated: »If everyone practiced aikido, the world would be a better place.«

I was not fully aware of the meaning of these words back then. Sometimes, when we hear something in our youth, this content is written deep into one's heart. It maybe resurfaces when a certain event occurs, many years later.

"Aikidoka need flexibility and strength" said Marco Gutmann at the first Tendoryu Aikido course 2022 in Munich. "Both in the right balance to each other is absolutely essential to avoid injuries." Numerous Aikidoka made their way to Munich-Sendling to then experience under Marco's guidance a, to the surprise, Hakama free start of the course.

“Herzogenhorn” Hearing this name immediately leads me to smile internally. One of the best trips in my life, despite I was’t very enthusiastic about it. The economic impact of the Covid pandemic made me have serious doubts about the convenience of having this trip. Lorena insisted and convinced me to participate in the Herzogenhorn seminar. How I appreciate she did it!
