While working in Haarlem last week, I had the pleasure of joining an Aikido practice at Aikido Ryu Jan Rusman.
They were a very welcoming and friendly group, and the practice was interesting and fun.
The Aikido techniques and principals taught were similar enough to our Jujutsu to be familiar, while at the same time different enough to throw confusion into the movements and keep me on my toes, literally at times!
We also practiced the same techniques against opponents using Jo, which was an interesting addition.
