We started the summer in our club with a visit of friends and colleagues from Berlin. We attended a seminar focused on the education of teachers of children, organized by the German Aikido Club Kikentai Berlin.
Letošní soustředění mládeže výjimečně neprobíhalo ani ve Slovenském ráji ani v Jeseníkách, ale v námi oblíbené Třešti. Hlavní náplní celé akce byly dopolední tréninky na tatami a odpolední cvičení v přírodě s džo, na kterých jsme rozvíjeli především živost, aktivitu a pohyblivost…
Young Aikidists in nature
Although we had been to Japan a few times before, this trip was truly exceptional—in terms of the number of people, our aikido training, and everything we experienced.
One Friday in February we got on the Flixbus and went to Berlin for a seminar for teachers of children and teenagers, organized by our friends from Kikentai Berlin.
One of the most interesting and oldest teachers in Aikikai Hombu Dojo is Miyamoto sensei… and we went to his seminar in Toulouse in November.
Two weeks of exercise and twice daily training, that’s how the trip to the French island of Oleron could be described in a nutshell.
This year’s youth camp was exceptionally held neither in the Slovak Paradise nor in the Jeseníky Mountains, but in our favourite Třešt’. The main content of the whole event was morning training on tatami and afternoon outdoor training with joe, where we developed liveliness, activity and mobility…
Once again we have prepared two dates of suburban aikido camps for children aged 6 to 12 years old for the beginning of summer. Both runs were successful and the kids and teachers had a lot of fun.
One Sunday in June, we did a little work and a little practice in the vineyard of Bogdan Trojak in Zernosky. We really worked hard all day and we knitted less than 4 rows… out of an infinite number of lines.
A great reminder of how much human work is behind every tasty mouthful of food and every good sip of wine.
One of the best things about Aikido is that you can stop by virtually any club in the world and just work out with the locals. And also that aikido seminars are open events where people from all over the continent meet. So meeting new people and places through the practice of aikido is really easy. In this short text, we recap a few of our travels this spring.
This evening was unpredictable, it was the first time most of us had been to a karaoke bar. Is anyone gonna show up? And who? The possible group changed all Friday, people checking in and out as their schedule continually changed. In the end, eighteen of us showed up. First singing attempts, first drinks, uncertainty gradually dispelled by laughter. Fortunately, there are those among us who can skillfully balance between awkwardness and wit and managed to pull the others down. But we had no idea what awaited us later…
We’ve arrived to Berlin on Friday evening and slept the first day in Kranich dojo. Martin and Vanda were already training in the other dojo and before sleeping we all went to a Chinese restaurant to have some nice dumplings (and accidentally practiced a bit of Chinese)
In the dojo, right before sleeping, we’ve tried to click a button with “Ó-Sensei” written on it.
An article about our suburban camps, summer schools and camps appeared in the magazine Archa, published by the Czech Council for Children and Youth. You can read it in full here.
These photos are more art than documentary. Take a good look, they can tell you a lot about aikido!Take a good look, these pictures can tell you a lot about Aikido!
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.
