Aikido Seminar with Mats Ahlin
(27–29 June 2025)
When practising Aikido, Mats Ahlin is particularly interested in how movements can be reduced to what is absolutely necessary. He examines and questions existing patterns in order to create stillness, clarity and sharpness. For him, it is important to remove the ego so that we can learn to develop the right kind of positive power and create an aikido that remains connected and peaceful despite its sharpness.
"Aikido is what connects me to the most beautiful parts of myself," says Mats. "The opportunity to share this inspiration with other people is one of the greatest gifts in life."
Mats began practising Aikido with Jorma Lyly shihan in 1997, and soon after with Jan Nevelius shihan, who are both his teachers today. His most important influence outside Sweden is Christian Tissier shihan. His close student Fabrice Croizé deepened his understanding of the martial art.
Mats teaches at Vanadis Aikidoklubb in Stockholm (vanadis-aikido.se). He holds a 4th Dan Aikikai.
Note: It can get quite warm at the end of June. Although it is significantly cooler in the hall than outside, we recommend that you bring something (isotonic) to drink.
