    • The International Aiki Budo Seminar, featuring instruction by Michael Daishiro Nakajima Sensei, was a great success! Not only were we training with some outstanding Aikidoka from Shinki Aikido in Germany but we were also able to attract Aikidoka from other schools in Detroit, Lansing and Battle Creek. Everyone enjoyed the precise demonstration and explanations provided by Nakajima sensei as well as the general atmosphere of learning and progressing. There was not only an emphasis on technique but also on relaxing, connecting, flowing and joy. We also were exposed to and briefly trained in Daitoryu Jujitsu and Itto den Shinki Toho kenjutsu and discussed how they were the foundation to our Aikido training. We are looking forward to training with Master Nakajima and the other German Aikidoka in Croatia, next year, at the annual Shinki Budo Seminar.
