Round-Earth.com - "Ki in Aikido -- A Sampler of Ki Exercises"

[Durandal]

I discovered this site for about 3 days ago and now I want to be a part of it :D
I´ve trained Aikido for about 3.5 years and enjoy it very much. I hope to train a different style though, but where I live we only have one and I can´t move yet :straightf
I feel I need to test some forms of Aikikai before I can start to get really devoted into Aikido. So I hoped you could maybe tell me about your style and what kind of things that makes you continue training it.

Thanks!

Hello Johan,

You don't happen to know Robin Henriksson, do you? :)

I understand you practice Ki-Aikido in Östersund? I haven't tried it myself, but I'd be interested in trying it. I suppose most styles have their benefits, try to get as much you can from the style you practice until you are able to change, if that's what you want :)

[Durandal]

Hahaha, how do you know that!? :freaky: You just guessed did´nt you, otherwise I´m pretty confused :)
Well yes, we both study Natur-Internationell in the same class.

[Marxama]

That's the power of Aikido! :D Seriously though, he's a friend of mine, and he's told me about you, since he knows be both do Aikido :)

[Durandal]

Aha, I see....
Something else he told you about me :dead:
:D
So what "style" do you train and for how long have you practised? And why do I keep on writing in English !? :freaky:

I think its more polite to speak english in an english-speaking forum as we wont automaticly exclude 99.9% of the forum members from the conversation. :p

Thanks :)

I´ve been to Germany a couple of times and can speak it a bit, can make myself understood anyway :D
If I go to Berlin again I will certainly seek up your dojo.

I started training 2,5 years ago. The style is Nishio Aikido (Aikikai). If you want more information about it, and maybe check out some Swedish dojo, then visit www.hokuoaikikai.com :)
