🇫🇮 Kolmipäiväinen Oyama-sensein leiri Tampereella päättyi eilen ja tuloksena saimme paljon oppia, oivalluksia, hikeä ja ennen kaikkea yhteistä tekemisen iloa. Leiri kokosi jälleen yhteen harjoittelijoita laajasti, ulkomailta saakka ja osallistujia yhteensä yli 24 eri dojolta 🧡.
Lämmin kiitos kaikille osallistujille sekä tietenkin itse Oyama-shihanille. Sydämellinen kiitos myös kaikille järjestäjille, jotka mahdollistivat toimivan kokonaisuuden: Nagarekai Aikido Dojo, Savonlinnan Aikidoseura Masurawo Dojo, Hietamäen Dojo Ry, Awase aikido Helsinki Dojo ja Seigikai ry Dojo sekä Kizunanokai Dojo. Lisäksi toki myös suurkiitos yhteistyöstä Hombu Dojolle 💙.
Nyt onkin hyvä hetki suunnata katseet eteenpäin ja merkata ensi vuoden leiri kalenteriin: 11.–13.12.2026. Kiitos vielä kerran kaikille mukana olleille. Nähdään tatamilla viimeistään vuoden päästä 💛!

🇬🇧 The three-day Oyama Sensei`s seminar in Tampere came to an end yesterday, leaving us with a wealth of learning, insights, sweat, and above all the joy of training together. Once again, the seminar brought practitioners together from a wide range of places, including from abroad, with participants representing over 24 different dojos 🧡.
Warm thanks to all participants, and of course to Oyama Shihan himself. Heartfelt thanks also to all the organizers who made this well-functioning event possible: Nagarekai Dojo, Masurawo Dojo, Hietamäen Dojo, Awase Dojo, Seigikai Dojo, and Kizunanokai Dojo. And of course, special super thanks to Hombu Dojo for the cooperation 💙.
Now is the perfect time to look ahead and mark next year’s seminar in your calendar: December 11–13, 2026. Thank you once again to everyone involved. See you on the tatami, at the latest, in a year’s time 💛!

Greetings from Tampere!
This year’s Oyama Sensei`s seminar is now wrapped up, and once again it delivered everything we hoped for: great company, plenty of sweat, and a generous dose of learning (and some sore muscles..). It is a true honor to have an instructor from Hombu Dojo here in Finland, guiding us further along the aikido path, with both precision and patience.
All Kizunanokai instructors, Geir, Max, and Joon, were on the tatami this time. We’re already looking forward to next year, and hopefully with a big group of Kizunanokai members joining the fun.
