Last weekend I was back in Trondheim for another very good seminar with Jan Nevelius, 6.dan from Stockholm, Vanadis dojo. Second step of a long November of Aikido weekends, but no complains, except a couple of hard techniques on my injured wrist that brought me close to tears. But it is hanging on. A few more seminars and next, if necessary, I’ll take x-ray
But let’s talk a bit more about Aikido now!
Jan Nevelius, together with Philippe Orban and Jorma Lyly, represents, for me, the most interesting Aikido instructors coming regularly to Norway.All three of them have added to kihon (basic) practice a lot of personal thoughts. And all the elements they focus during their seminars induce a lot of thinking and reflection in my own Aikido vision.
Of course, now in Stavanger I hope I can start “importing” other Aikido instructors interested in sharing their view. Ulli was a good start and we have interesting (and ambitious) plans for next semester.

The “recovery” starts with Vestlandet festival this weekend, that I have probably to cut down a bit.. reduce the sessions, since next weekend there is Endo sensei in Vienna!
See you soon!
