That weekend there was to be a camp for young aikidists in the vineyard in Žernosky. But it was much, much more…
Every seminar with Jan is a surprise. Jan refers to his teaching as “exploration”, and so each year we explore familiar techniques from new perspectives…
One weekend in May, Martin led two seminars at the Dojo De La Roserai in Toulouse, France. Friday and Saturday were for adults, Sunday for children and teachers of children. And the whole week before that he and Vanda spent in Bordeaux… so here are his notes from the trip:
Almost 10 people were preparing for this year’s dan examinations, so we organized the preparatory seminar of the Czech Aikido Federation in Vinohrady with great pleasure.
“Bang on you” – this was probably the most frequent phrase of our aikido weekend together. Traditionally, in early May, we went together with the aikido kids to the Svobodný statek na soutoku. The theme of the camp was the question, “What good is aikido to us in life?”
The exams are an important milestone in the life of an aikidist – and the black belt exams even more so. At this year’s seminar with Franck Noel, seven brave members of our club advanced to the next dan level. You will find their names in the article.
s the years go by, our Shihan Franck Noel gradually reduces the number of his seminars in Europe. And yet this year he found time to visit Prague.
It was still bitterly cold in Prague in February, and we were greeted at Barcelona airport by the sun and the smell of the nearby sea. And so we began to thaw…
On Saturday morning in Prague, around 100 children started their first training on the big tatami… and it was a line from one side of the hall to the other. Check out the photos! And we weren’t all there yet, because the bus with the Ukrainian kids got delayed at the border and arrived a bit late. After a warm-up together, we divided into age categories – small kids, bigger kids and teenagers – and started real training sessions full of varied movement, games and most importantly aikido.
Zdenko Reguli’s seminar in Prague in December was well attended after three long years. Besides us from Vinohrady, aikidists from more than 10 other clubs (even from abroad) came to practice.
is a school of the martial art aikido for adults, youth and children.
Considering the amount of our classes, number of students and high level of organized seminars we belong among the most active European aikido clubs.
