🌿 Starting the Aikido Travel Blog

Hello! We’re excited to begin sharing updates through the Aikido Travel blog.

This website is run by myself, Kaori, together with Michael.

Our regular training takes place at Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, though we also visit other dojos from time to time.

In New Zealand, we train with the Shinryukan head and branch dojos, and we attend seminars both locally and abroad whenever possible.

If you happen to see us at an event or seminar, feel free to say hello!

✈️ Why We Started This Blog

A while ago, while planning a trip, I wanted to attend an Aikido seminar at my travel destination.

I searched online, hoping to find something, but eventually gave up because no information was available.

Later, after booking flights, ferry tickets, and accommodation, I discovered that a seminar was taking place on a neighboring island—after everything was already arranged.

It was a missed opportunity that left me wishing there were a better way to stay informed.

That experience sparked the idea:

a place where Aikido seminars around the world could be shared and found in one place.
And so, Aikido Travel was born.

🤝 A Place We Build Together

We hope this site will help foster connections through seminars and become a resource that’s useful to many.

It would be impossible for the two of us to track seminars around the globe alone.

Thanks to your support, we’re able to share more widely.

If you’d like to post your own seminar, just log in to the site and submit the details—it's simple and free.

Browsing doesn’t require a login, so feel free to explore and make use of the information anytime.

🌀 Growing Little by Little

Aikido Travel is a work in progress, and we’re continuing to make small changes so it becomes easier to use over time.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Kaori
