🥋 Aikido is a journey, and there's always more to learn.

On my YouTube channel, I share lessons and training ideas that break down different parts of Aikido and give you another way to look at your practice.

If you're curious about Aikido or already training, come take a look around the channel. You might find something you want to try on the mat. 🙌

🥋 Aikido Tip: Move from your center.

Let your center guide your movement instead of relying only on your arms. This can make your technique feel more connected and controlled.

Do you focus on your center while training? 👇

🥋 Sometimes you just need a place to show up, move, learn, and reset.

Aikido gives you the chance to challenge yourself while training alongside people who are working toward their own goals too.

💬 What do you enjoy most about being on the mat?

Come train with us at the Brenda and John Duncan YMCA. We'd love to see you in class!

Remember. Honor. Never Forget.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage and selflessness shown in the days that followed.

May we continue to carry forward the values of compassion, courage, and community. 🕊️

🥋 What do you do when you want to practice, but your partner isn't around?

You can still work on your movement.

This video shows how I use a sword and solo practice to work through Shiho-Nage and better understand the technique.

🥋 Aikido Tip: Relax your grip.

A tight grip can create unnecessary tension. Keep your hands relaxed so your movement stays connected and responsive.

Can you feel when you're gripping too tightly? 👇

🥋💪 Progress takes practice.

This Labor Day, we're celebrating the dedication and hard work that help us grow, both on and off the mat.

Wishing our Aikido community a safe and happy Labor Day!

🥋 There's always something to work on when you step onto the mat.

Maybe you're learning a new technique. Maybe you're working on your balance, timing, or simply feeling more comfortable with the movement.

Whatever your focus, you don't have to train alone. 🙌

💬 What's something you're working on in your Aikido right now?

Come train with us at the Brenda and John Duncan YMCA. We'd love to see you on the mat!
