Alameda Aikido

Flashback Friday to when I was king of bump sumo! I think I can still take all the kids now

Moving into Monday and taking the week like our kids can take kiriotoshi!!

Throwback Thursday to a former seminar probably in Scotland! Mike Flynn shihan and Mitsu Nobusada-Flynn sensei when he was 20+ years younger.

Many thanks to my big brother, Elmer Tancinco Sensei, for letting me expand his Jyo kata. Experimenting with various encounter possibilities before class. #samurai #aikido #ghostoftsushima #samuraishodown

Next up on our series of Jyo basics videos from the advanced kids program: Kaeshi Uchiotoshi #2. As always, we strive to keep polishing and improving everyday we step on the mat. #aikido #jyo #spear #kidsmartialarts

Special bokken class with Elmer Tancinco Sensei. The sword amplifies the importance of timing, distance, awareness, and connection. There is very little room for error when training seriously with a sword.

Back to our regular programming of jyo basics with the advanced kids. Today kaeshiuchiotoshi 1. Keep training, keep improving.

[Kaeshi Uchiotoshi #2] Sometimes, when you train seriously, this happens... [ 2] ...

We interrupt our regularly scheduled jyo basics with our advanced kids to bring you some fun that Tancinco sensei showed us this past week on his visit! Build from the basics!
