Stefan Stenudd

Stefan Stenudd (born 1954 in Stockholm) is one of the most prominent aikido teachers in Sweden, and also active as writer, astrologist and freelance journalist.

Stenudd along with many others was close to the resident Japanese aikido teacher Toshikazu Ichimura but also had conflicts with him, which was part of the reasons for him starting his first own dojo in 1978, in the Stockholm suburb Brandbergen in Haninge.

In 1991 he moved to Malmö in southern Sweden, and started aikido there in the big sports and martial arts club Enighet.

To accompany his aikido he has created his own weapons exercises, among these a series of iaido-inspired sword work called aikibatto.
