Your dojo in your pocket
Do you mix up Ikkyo and Nikkyo? Can't remember how Suwari Waza goes?
This app helps you review and clarify Aikido techniques, with visual
explanations and clear Japanese names.
NOT an Aikido course. This is what you use BETWEEN classes.
If you practice Aikido, you already know there is no substitute for
the tatami. But sometimes, outside the dojo, you need to remember a
movement, understand a position, or prepare before your next training.
Here you will find a small guide made with care for my fellow
practitioners. Welcome: I hope you find it useful.
VIDEO LIBRARY
Over 145 HD techniques recorded with our master and his best students.
Technique review
Descriptions and Japanese names (Tachi-Waza, Suwari-Waza,
Ushiro-Waza, Hanmi-Handachi-Waza) to clarify each movement.
Exam Mode
Filter the exact techniques for your next grading by level
(6 Kyu to Shodan) and position.
Offline access
Download the videos you want and train without internet.
