Aikido Seattle is delighted to host Miia Mäntysaari Sensei for her first Seattle seminar.
Miia Mäntysaari, 6th Dan Aikikai, a student (deshi) of Endo Shihan, embodies a style of aikido that is soft yet powerful, emphasizing flow, connection, and presence. She teaches seminars regularly in Finland and internationally, and travels to Japan twice a year to train with Endo Sensei and his close students. Her home dojo, Kimoumi, is located in Kirkkonummi, near Helsinki.
The seminar has been moved to Seattle Central to accommodate more participants!
