For testing out, I created a #Matrix room for chatting about #aikido and #aikijujutsu. If you’re on or interested in Matrix, you should find it as #aiki:matrix.org (I believe, I’m still exploring).
Of course I’m also on a similar channel on the Martial Arts Alliance #Discord server (with channels on many #martialArts). The aiki channel there is pretty active.
#Sasuga is putting together a full day seminar on #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu (the parent art of #aikido and #hapkido, amongst others) in #Helsinki, 1st Feb. Their seminars have always been very insightful, and they retain some of the oldest teachings of the art. Thoroughly recommend going.

Our sensei, Tom Granström (6th dan), will be one of the many instructors at next month's '#Aikido Across Borders' event in Vantaa (near Helsinki), Finland. Many styles will be present, from soft to #Tenshin style (which #StevenSeagal did). There will also be #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu, courtesy of the #Sasuga dojo and #BarawSugbo from the Philippines. A great opportunity to do a whole weekend of the full spectrum of aiki arts.

@driusan I'm also on the #aikido / #aikijujutsu channel on the #MartialArts Alliance #Discord server:
Lots of fun chitchat there (whereas, I have to say that the experience on the Aikido-oriented server, run by some dojo, was ... weird...).
I wonder if I’m the only person on the Fediverse who does #DaitoRyu #aikijujutsu? Due to federation I might be missing some people doing this traditional #jujutsu somewhere at the edges of this universe.
Oh, great, now I got into a rabbit hole of #aikijujutsu videos...
Had a great #DaitoRyu #aikijujutsu practise today at #Sasuga. Been too long since I was last there (busy with many things). But today I got several things working nicely and randori was pretty satisfactory. Something clicked.
Interesting to learn that #Masutatsu #Oyama, founder of #Kyokushin #Karate apparently studied #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu in some form. It’s been claimed there is a scroll of high level or secret techniques, which is DR stuff. I wonder if anyone can confirm?
On the 28th in Helsinki is a chance to experience oldschool Japanese #jujutsu in the style of #DaitoRyu #Aikijujutsu (that gave birth to #aikido). An open seminar taught by senseis who brought it to Europe for the first time. At the VMA dojo, from 1pm.
Highly recommended for anyone into #budo or #martialArts.
