🎄 *Maai Perspective: Women Talk Budo – Christmas Special!*

Join us for a martial arts deep dive in this special episode of Maai Perspective: Women Talk Budo! Recorded at the home of Ismail Hasan sensei, we reflect on an incredible three-day Christmas seminar at Aikido of London featuring guest instructor Yanti Amos sensei, a Shotokan Karate expert. 🌟

This episode is packed with insights into cross-disciplinary learning, the unique dynamics of Aikido and Karate, and the powerful sense of community fostered through martial arts training. From collaborative drills to the art of staying grounded—both physically and emotionally—we explore how martial arts enrich our lives on and off the mat.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to Budo, this conversation celebrates humility, growth, and the joy of learning something new. ✨

Thank you to our teacher Ismail sensei, Yanti sensei and everyone who made the weekend and episode possible.

In this special episode Fran and Cathy interview their Aikido teacher Ismail Hasan sensei and Yanti Amos sensei in person, following the Annual Christmas sem...

"Is Aikido dying? Can we save it?". This was a question put to hosts Cathy & Fran by 17 year old Aikidoka James. Questions that adults often ask themselves and discuss with one another these days.

It is time to hear from some of our young practitioners- being one of the most underrepresented groups amongst Aikidoka. They share their likes, challenges, fears and aspirations, as well as putting some of their own questions to Cathy & Fran.
