Stefan Stenudd, aikido instructor in Sweden, 7 dan Aikikai Shihan, showing aikido basics and techniques.I started to practice aikido in 1972, when I was 18 years old. Luckily, one of the few Swedish aikido dojos at that time was in my neighborhood. Through the years, the Japanese teachers I've practiced for the most are: Toshikazu Ichimura, who was Swedish national instructor for 20 years, Shoji Nishio, Nobuyoshi Tamura, and Seiichi Sugano. Presently i teach aikido and iaido (Japanese sword art) at Enighet dojo in Malm, Sweden.Apart from that, I'm a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Of course, I've also written a few books about aikido and the martial arts. Check my website for more about that, and about me:http://www.stenudd.com
