Episode description

The Aiki Dojo Podcast - Do Dominance Rituals Belong in Aikido?

This is the first podcast episode of 2025. In Episode 60 of the Aiki Dojo Podcast, we discuss if shaming, hazing or other dominance rituals belong in Aikido. Is hazing or shaming a true aspect of learning. Does a teacher have to be dominant? Does the student have to be subservient? We try to answers these and many other questions. 

Enjoy!
