I really like your dojo athmosphere. Kudos!

[@kazeutabudokai]

Thank you!

[@rollinOnCode]

pretty cool. i do Brazilian jiu jitsu but became interested in aiki jutsu and blending the softer subtle aspects of aikido, qinna etc after watching robert silas. the age motion really helps with kuzushi which is an aspect i still struggle with but is really fundamental to a lot of throws and attacks

[@kazeutabudokai]

Very cool!
