Aikido Seattle

The training was great — and so was the feast! 🍽️ Thank you to everyone who brought a dish and stayed to celebrate at our post-seminar potluck. Good food, good company, and lots of laughs off the mat. This is what dojo community is all about. ❤️

A huge thank you to Mats Sensei for an inspiring weekend of training! 🙏

Your clarity, precision, and generosity on the mat gave all of us so much to work on in the months ahead. Thank you as well to everyone who traveled to join us and to all our members who helped make the seminar run smoothly — from setup to hosting, it takes a community.
We’re already looking forward to the next one.

Domo arigato gozaimash*ta!

🥋 Congratulations to today’s testing successes! 🥋

A huge well done to Silas on passing his test to 4th kyu, and to Anna and Kmo on advancing to 2nd kyu! 👏

Every grading reflects months of dedication, sweat, and a willingness to keep showing up on the mat. We’re proud of the heart and effort you each brought today. Keep training, keep growing — onward and upward! 💪

🥋 Congratulations to our newest test promotion candidates! 🎉

5th Kyu: Maxim, Jacob & Andrew
