Jan Nevelius Shihan, 7th Dan Aikikai, is based at Vanadis Aikido Dojo in Stockholm, Sweden and has practiced Aikido for 45 years. His main teachers are Endo Shihan and Tissier Shihan. He has also trained with, and has been strongly influenced by, Osawa Shihan and Hermansson Shihan. Nevelius Sensei emphasizes connection, soft ukemi, and an approach to Aikido as never-ending research.
Seminar Series Theme: Kashima-Inspired Kenjutsu Work: Second Series, Ura Dachi (May 15 and 22); Aikido and Qigong: Connections (June 5)
Note: On May 29th there will be an Aikido Summer Seminar with Hiroshi Ikeda Shihan, Hideo Numata Shihan, Linda Holiday Shihan, Jan Nevelius Shihan, Kayla Feder Sensei, and Lia Suzuki Sensei.
Seminars Description
For the bokken classes, there will be some suburi exercises, but mostly partnered exercises. Therefore, if you have a partner it’s better. If not, I am sure you will benefit anyway from studying the principles by yourself. We will look at some of the traditional katas from an open perspective.
And then for the third class we will explore some connections between Qigong and Aikido practice.
Mats Ahlin Sensei will assist.
