New York Aikido Alliance

One of our dedicated students, Sophie, started recording videos to review and master techniques off the mat. She also documented the nuances involved in executing these techniques. Then one day she had an idea to share her insights with the world, aiming to raise awareness about Aikido and assist fellow practitioners in mastering the art. What began as a personal hobby has evolved into a mission. We are proud to introduce her Instagram channel, “All Things Aikido,” and warmly invite you to watch and engage with Sophie’s posts. 🙇

How to: Happo Undo (Eight Directional Exercise) Typically on one of the later ki exams, the happo undo exercise practices foot movement for various techniques, specifically ones with bokkens. It can be done two different ways, depending on which foot is forward. This post shows the one starting from the right foot, which means that every step is towards the right. Thank you Sensei Maks for the demonstration!
