A little bear from Novosibirsk Zoo

At the 11th of December 2013 a little daughter was born in the family of two polar bears Gerda and Kay. The cub has no name yet. We will know it at the 11th of May 2014, when the citizens chose the best name for the baby. The little bear and her mom feel good. And recently they started walking together outside to the great pleasure of Novosibirsk Zoo visitors. The baby will stay with her mom for about one and the half year.
Enjoy the video!

News from Shioda Yasuhisa Sensei

Today I am very pleased to announce the launch of the Shioda International Aikido Federation (SIAF), our new international Aikido organization. As many of you know, throughout his life, my late father (Gozo Shioda) encouraged me to transmit both his Aikido spirit and his techniques. He reminded me of this again during the months before he passed away and at that time I gave him my life long promise to do so. Today I am very pleased to continue to teach my father’s Aikido and through this teaching help to transmit his Aikido spirit. (more…)

Experience of Learning at Aikido in Russia By Allan Roden Feb 20 2014

This was my first experience of practicing Aikido although I have watched some of Andrew’s classes before. As a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and Karate I come to martial training with a different eye than most people just entering a training hall. What I have seen in the training halls in Russia is very impressive. (more…)
