A little snapshot from Michael Sensei’s seminar a couple of weeks ago. Still feeling inspired! ⚔️🤲
So much covered in just a few days—both weapons and open-hand techniques pushed us to level up.
Always a gift to train with this community.

Watching Thao-senpai prepare for her yondan is one in a life time event! The precision, the level of details show how deep this path really goes 🤯

This week, three of our dedicated aikidoka received their official shodan certificates from Japan, presented by Michael Farrugia Sensei. Congrats Josh, Ana and Sofie!

Receiving a black belt is never just an individual milestone — it’s the fruit of years of shared practice, falls, and laughter. It’s a moment that belongs to the whole dojo.

To our newly recognised shodan: your commitment and spirit uplift us all. We’re proud to walk the path of Aikido alongside you. 🥋

Omedetō gozaimasu!

Today we pause to honor the passing of Morihei Ueshiba, O’Sensei — the founder of Aikido.
His vision of harmony and compassion through the practice of martial arts continues to guide us, we strive to keep Aikido spirit alive in our practice.
