A cottage near the forest, training on the mountain meadow, cooking together, hiking up the hills on the horizon, morning exercises and night walks, conversations by the fire, swimming in the spa town, reading comics and watching horror movies… our camp in Jeseníky was really very varied!
This year, eleven of us went on the annual trip to France, so we were really an unmissable group at the summer aikido school on the island of Oleron. Also because most of us were young students around 18 years old.
We worked in the fields and in the gardens, we practiced in the fresh air, we touched the soil and plants, we bathed in the river Elbe. Just like every year, this spring we took our high school students and went to České kopisty to work and train at farm. Aikido is supporting life.
200 children and 50 adults from 20 clubs and 5 European countries practiced all day in 3 age categories led by 8 teachers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Sweden and France.
Aikido for children and teenagers as a part of festival Sport for Prague 2. It was fun for us, for kids and sometimes also for their teachers.
Aikido youth summer school in Slovakia: training, mountains and friendship… simply a trip to nature as well as to one self.
Again we were a part of the big festival of sports for kids in Prague.
In May we went to Stockholm to learn more about teaching children classes.
The first April weekend we went to farm Svobodný statek na soutoku in České Kopisty.
We had a chance to take part in an event organized for children from Klokánek Hostivice (home for children in need).
Older students and younger teachers from Aikido Prague Vinohrady at a demonstration at the Japanese pop-culture festival Natsucon 2015.
