Gallery. April Aikido with Simone in Kilkenny

During this class Simone emphasized the importance of entering off the line and following through with smooth and continuous movements. His classes tend to focus on a particular aspect of training while retaining the depth of Aikido and the ways of training the body and mind.

Fortunately the Nore Valley Aikido Club, our technical director has moved over to Ireland for a few months. These pictures during the first of his visits this year. He will be teaching again in a few week.

Details will be published on the Takemusu Aikido Ireland facebook page. facebook.com/takemusuaikidoireland/

6 – 8th March 2015

Sensei Simone 5th Dan our technical director will teach a 3 day course in Kilkenny and Waterford Dojo. During these three days we will cover the basics of Takemusu Aikido offering an insight into this approach.

Takemusu Aikido has a strong emphasis on weapons work in coherence with our paired and solo practices, it gives the practitioner a wide grounded understanding of Aikido by building up a solid foundation of basics. When absorbed these basic principles can open up the student to Aikido as Budo…

Training is always conducted in a serious and yet relaxed atmosphere. As such beginners are welcome as are students of other martial traditions. There will also be a social side to this course with at least one event of food and music probably in Thomastown on the Saturday night.

Friday- Waterford 7.30pm till 9
Saturday – Camphill Jerpoint 11 till 2 and 4 till 6
Sunday – Waterford Aikido 11 till 2 and 4 till 6
60 euro for weekend. 40 for a day. Concessions Available.
