<p>The Aiki Dojo Podcast - Is Aikido The Art of Peace?</p><p>In Episode 64 of the Aiki Dojo Podcast, we discuss the Art of Peace with special guest Glenn Yoshida Sensei, Aikido 7th Dan from Aikido Renshinkan. The common assumption about Aikido is that it is for defensive purposes and people think that Aikido is centered around this idea of non-violence or passivity. We discuss this idea and mull over the concept that Aikido is passive.

<p>The Aiki Dojo Podcast - A Discussion on Martial Awareness</p><p>In Episode 63 of the Aiki Dojo Podcast, we discuss awareness. Martial awareness is the ability to quickly size up an opponent or a situation. Typically this training begins with trying to read one’s teacher and then we use that skill to read our opponents. We need to know what they might know and what their intentions are. How is awareness cultivated? What kind of things can you do with it? These questions and many more are answered in this episode of the Aiki Dojo Podcast. The special guest this episode is James Takata, Aikido 4th Dan. Enjoy!</p><p><br></p><p>Watch this episode here: <a href="https://youtu.be/Zoey49MbhfU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/Zoey49MbhfU</a></p><p><br></p><p>The Aiki Dojo Podcast’s goal is to translate traditional Aikido and traditional martial arts training into the modern world.
