AKI USA Weekly Zoom Schedule: https://aki-usa.org/Virtual-Dojo

After a brief message to the international participants on Zoom, Daiyu Sensei gives us a glimpse into his regular Sunday class in Yokohama, Japan at Takeda Dojo.

Points included "atari", "suikomi", "musubi", among others. As usual, the class is dynamic and joyful.

Because of the pandemic, Sensei and participants are all wearing masks. Despite that fact, the class is dynamic and intense, as usual.

has continued to develop his style of online teaching, taking it to the next level. Using aids such as tape for pointing out angles for footwork, jo to represent a training partner, and other innovative methods, his instruction is clear and his joy of training is evident.

Due to the health risks of the time, we were not able to hold our annual AKI USA Summer Camp in Los Angeles, as is our custom. With the help of modern technology, we moved the seminar online. The result was that we had the rare opportunity to train with not only our USA Director, Lia Suzuki Sensei, but also, Daiyu Sensei, Numata Sensei, and even Takeda Shihan!

Check out this collection of videos and leave a comment in the comments section to let us know what you think!
