Aikido is like Onion

Aikido is like an onion. The outer layer consists of learning how the hands and feet move (tai sabaki and te sabaki). The next layer involves using the breath with each movement of the extremities (kokyu).  Then comes the layer of utilizing the hips and centrum (seika tanden) in coordination with the rest of the body. Finally, there is essential point of using a pure heart to execute every technique (waza) and every breakfall (ukemi).

Love the Aikido training here under Sensei George and his senior students. Been learning a lot since I joined after covid. Good folks that help you along the way. I’d recommend it in a heartbeat. So much to learn, best gift you can get is improving yourself every step along the way.

Sensei Hewson is an example and teaches with both the background of old Bushido and modern Western essence; having the sensitivity to be both gentle and stern as an instructor. The assistant instructors are committed to Aikido … and teach beginners with patience.
