Autumn course for trainers
November training of 3rd class coaches in Prague was attended by 17 aikidokas from 8 clubs of the Czech Aikido Federation – 8 of them were junior and senior teachers from our club. The meeting was led by René Novotný from Třebíč and Martin Švihla from Aikido Praha Vinohrady, the topics were development of movement skills and abilities for children and adults (with animal alphabet and its practical variants), different ways of creating training structure (and Japanese pedagogical concepts of shu-ha-ri and shin-gi-tai) and sharing experiences from conducting children’s training.
