Event Information
Jan Nevelius shihan’s aikido is characterised by a deep connection between uke and tori, freedom of movement and deliberate ukemi. He is a continuous researcher who keeps exploring the principles behind the external forms and illuminates them from different perspectives. For him, Aikido is communication in movement, which can contribute to physical and mental health. His findings have given generations of aikidoka access to a holistic view of the martial art.
Jan began practising Aikido in 1975. He is a student of Seishiro Endo shihan and Christian Tissier shihan, and he lived in Japan for several years, where he studied under the late Seigo Yamaguchi shihan.
Jan also practises Reiki, Shiatsu, Tai Chi and Qi Gong. He is the author of "Vaken vila" ("Wakeful Rest"), a book about mindfulness.
Jan holds a 7th dan Aikikai. He is one of the founders and principal teachers at Vanadis Aikidoklubb, Stockholm (vanadis-aikido.se ).
