Arigato Festival Aikido Demonstration 2026

It's not easy to give an Aikido demonstration in a space of just 15 square meters. But the Freshwater guys did a fantastic job. The audience, who were admiring our performance, was very engaged and engaged. Thank you all.

What is the Kotodama?
The Kotodama is a Japanese principle that holds that sounds and words have spiritual and creative power.
Every vibration you emit—whether vocal or internally—affects your mind, your energy(ki), and your way of acting.
It's not empty mysticism: it's the idea that your intention has a frequency.. and that frequency manifests itself in your movement.
Why was it key to Morihei Ueshiba?
The Sensei understood that Aikido was not just a physical technique. Influenced by currents like the Omoto-kyo, he saw training as a way to line up:
🔵Mind
🔵Breathing
🔵Energy
For him, the Kotodama was a tool to unify all that from within.
How does it impact your Aikido?
A technique doesn't work just by force or form.
It works when there is internal coherence:
• Clear intention
• Breathing connected
• Natural Movement
The Kotodama acts as that "invisible engine" that gives life to the technique.
The real difference.
You can do Aikido 'right'...
or you can do Aikido with real presence.
The difference is not always seen,
but it is felt immediately.
The Kotodama was fundamental for Morihei Ueshiba because it allowed him to go beyond technique.
Don't just make moves...
but to give them intention, direction and life.

DIARY of a REBORN AIKIDOKA

Fishing something out from the past, understood as space-time, that we had long resigned ourselves to having lost forever: is it possible? For some, no, for others, yes. You just have to want it intensely, with your body and soul, and then suddenly everything comes true, thanks not to a pseudo miracle, but to your own will, this time aware of your own possibilities and of our limitless consciousness. This is my story, an ordinary story that can become a message, a clue for many who, like me, have involuntarily interrupted their path in Aikido. This is an unfiltered diary, so if someone should be offended or feel outraged by what I have written, well... I can only advise diving into a nice cold spring and wish you a rejuvenating Misogi.

For the first time in the history of Aikikai Australia, an Aikido practitioner named Tony Garside is being awarded and recognized for his long-standing dedication to Aikido and, above all, for his passion and devotion to the art, despite never having taken any grading exams. I set this precedent, and Tony fully deserved it, having already been a Nidan in the Ki-Society. Well done, Tony, a big hug.
