Aikido Daiwa

What Aikido Daiwa does

Toitsu - Ki & Aikido Dojo, Gladsaxe (referred to here as Aikido Daiwa) is a single-location martial arts training facility operating from the basement Aikido room of Gladsaxe Sportshal in Søborg, Denmark. The dojo teaches Ki Aikido, a Japanese martial art emphasizing harmony, non-resistance, and redirecting energy rather than opposing force, combined with Ki (life energy) training exercises developed under the lineage of Doshu Yoshigasaki Sensei (1951–2021). Its core offerings are weekly in-person classes: Aiki-kids for children (Monday 18:00–19:00), all-levels adult training (Monday and Saturday), and free practice sessions (Monday and Wednesday), plus periodic seminars and an international online Aikido class taught in English via video conferencing.

The underlying "technology" is the Ki Aikido methodology itself — Ki exercises, breathing techniques, and Aiki Taiso derived from Doshu Yoshigasaki's teachings, delivered through in-person instruction at one physical site and supplemented by online classes, a website (toitsu.dk), and an archive of lectures and newsletters. The dojo publishes multilingual Ki Newsletters (English, Spanish, French, Italian) and operates social channels on Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Flickr.

The business model is a community-led, subscription-recurring martial arts instruction service. Revenue is collected from individual adult practitioners and families enrolling children in the Aiki-kids program, paid in cash or via bank transfer to a shared pool account (Faelleskassen); no pricing is publicly disclosed. The dojo is operated by Michael Holm, is affiliated with the Ki no Kenkyukai international network of Ki Aikido dojos, and serves a mid-market segment of individual hobbyists, families, and youth in the Greater Copenhagen area, with a supplementary international online audience. There is no evidence of external ownership, corporate structure beyond a community dojo, funding rounds, patents, or technology product lines.

Others
