140 children and 40 adults on one tatami
We organized this international seminar for children and youth in November 2024 in Prague. The event brought together 140 children and teenagers, 40 adults, 20 dojos, and participants from 7 countries. We set up 700 square meters of tatami for 7 training sessions—some divided into 3 age groups, and others open to everyone, including parents. And one Aikido demo.
No words can truly reflect the special vibe of the event; the power of the whole group, teenagers dedicated to dynamic Aikido practice, small children gently touching or enthusiastically wrestling. And our young aikidokas, who formed a great organizing team and made sure that everything went smoothly. There are so many aspects of what happened that Saturday.
