Gaston Nicolessi again in Prague

In spring Gas­ton from Fran­ce visi­ted us aga­in. For three days we practi­ced with him in a free, pla­y­ful and at the same time inten­se way – we deve­lo­ped basic prin­ci­ples like con­tact, lea­der­ship, rela­xati­on… and we also wor­ked with weapons.

For the third time in Prague: international seminar for children and youth

For the third time in Prague: international seminar for children and youth

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.

More inspiration from Stockholm – return to the crime scene

More inspiration from Stockholm – return to the crime scene

We sat on the mats after practi­ce, resigned expres­si­ons on our faces. I think Hon­za bro­ke the silen­ce: ‘When is the next tra­i­ning? And where?”
On that Thur­sday in Novem­ber, the first snow fell in Stoc­kholm. The begin­ning of win­ter. We slept on the tata­mi at the Iya­saka Aiki­do­klubb (the­re’s an insa­ne­ly noi­sy air-con­di­ti­o­ning sys­tem run­ning at night) and got up at six in the mor­ning. An hour practi­ce, a quick chan­ge of clo­thes and a subway ride to Vana­dis, whe­re the­re was ano­ther mor­ning practi­ce at ano­ther club. Then we had bre­ak­fast at the cafe whe­re Ast­rid Lin­gren used to go (Pipi Lon­gs­tockking was writ­ten in the tene­ment across the park) and the lunch­ti­me tra­i­ning was star­ting, which of cour­se we also atten­ded. Three wor­kouts in half a day would­n’t have been too much, but we kept up the pace of 3–5 hours of exer­ci­se on our six­th day in Stoc­kholm… and we still had three more inten­se days to go.
