This is amazing, Scott! Thanks for giving us such a unique lens to your experience. I would like point out the obvious, which is that these are a bit more than... ahem... "sketches".

    About

    The KIAI is the Aikido Institute's official blog, consisting of articles, announcements and other postings from dojo members.

    ​The KIAI was originally a paper newsletter, founded by Howard Hoa Newens Sensei who was dojo-cho of our dojo for a number of years in the late 80s and in the 90s.  It started in it's early format in 1995.  (Currently, some of the early issues are missing from our collection!).  It was remixed into a blog starting in April 2017..

    Part of the idea is that reflecting and writing about Aikido furthers and strengthens our practice.  We welcome articles and other works from all dojo members and from others as well (send us a note below!).
