Aikido demonstration at the Japanese Akimatsuri 2024
The Aikido demonstration at Akimatsuri in Prague has been the most important public performance in our calendar for many years. This year it was prepared and practiced mainly by our young aikidists.
We simply had a working meeting in the week before the demonstration, we agreed who wanted to practice, what would be appropriate… we put it together into a nice whole and then we practiced it in pairs.
Sounds easy, right?
Mix in a little nervousness and stage fright, fall weather, soft grass under the tatami and you have a rough idea of how much fun we had.
The photos will also give you a hint – they were taken by Dima Hejko and Nela Hrnčířová.
We are already looking forward to next year.
