Another teacher’s training

Another teacher’s training

We are very hap­py to orga­ni­ze tra­i­nings for tea­chers of the Czech Aiki­do Fede­rati­on. It is an oppor­tu­ni­ty to sha­re our way of tea­ching Aiki­do with other Czech clubs and also to get inspi­rati­on from the­ir work. At the same time, these mee­tings broa­den the peda­go­gi­cal and human hori­zons of our young tea­chers. And also we can all practi­ce together.

T‑shirts only for aiki­dists!?! In our club we have cre­a­ted (so far) 16 dif­fe­rent designs of aiki­do t‑shirts – fun­ny, with inscrip­ti­ons, cal­li­gra­phy, typo­gra­phy! The­re are prints pure­ly for the club and also just about aiki­do. And they can be prin­ted on t‑shirts, sweat­shirts, tank tops or pillows… all sizes. Read on!

We collect wine at Bogdan Trojak’s!

We collect wine at Bogdan Trojak’s!

Aiki­do is also work in the vineyard, we agre­ed with our youn­gs­ters. One Satur­day in Octo­ber, we enjoyed the fre­sh air whi­le pic­king gra­pes on the hill abo­ve Žer­no­se­ky, whe­re Bogdan Tro­jak has a vineyard and we some­ti­mes help him out.
We woke up ear­ly in the mor­ning and arri­ved at the pla­ce in the mor­ning fog. We could­n’t see even a few meters, almost by touch we were pic­king and cut­ting the tas­sels, our fin­gers wet from the cold dew.

We organized a 24-hour international Aikido marathon in Prague

We organized a 24-hour international Aikido marathon in Prague

“I would say that the Aiki­do Marathon brou­ght me a beau­ti­ful and unfor­get­table expe­ri­en­ce, a unique explo­rati­on of how fati­gue affects me – and a huge sur­pri­se, because the tra­i­ning sessi­ons and the unique atmosphe­re char­ged me so much that (despi­te all my ini­tial assumpti­ons) I kept practi­cing over and over, nights, mor­nings… and enjoyed it so much
At the same time, I think that I also lear­ned in the “actu­al” aiki­do practi­ce, the chan­ging dyna­mics (thanks to the brisk chan­ge of tea­chers and the­ir sty­les) added ano­ther ama­zing dimensi­on to the aiki­do marathon. I expe­ri­en­ced (for me) com­ple­te­ly new appro­a­ches and what’s more, I found ele­ments to take away in each one…
The more I think about it, the more I belie­ve that put­ting all tho­se won­der­ful impres­si­ons into words is impossible…”
Len­ka, 18-years-old high scho­ol student

A graphic summary of our year 2022

We have just cre­a­ted a gra­phic sum­ma­ry of our Aiki­do year 2022, that pictu­re is a sum­ma­ry of what we expe­ri­en­ced – and we expe­ri­en­ced a lot last year! You­’d be sur­pri­sed how much can be accom­plished in a year!
Behind the num­bers are lots of live­ly peo­ple of all ages, exer­ci­sing, lau­ghing, spen­ding time toge­ther. Behind tho­se num­bers is a lot of tra­i­ning, work, tra­vel, events. Behind the num­bers are us, our gre­at club.

Two weeks by the Atlantic

Two weeks by the Atlantic

The island of Olé­ron is an unk­nown part of Fran­ce for many peo­ple – that is, until they learn that the world-famous Fort Boyard is loca­ted just a few kilo­me­t­res from the island. For us, however, Olé­ron has a dif­fe­rent mea­ning – for seve­ral deca­des now, it has been home to the Aiki­do sum­mer school.
We practi­ced for 12 days, 4 hours a day. Under the gui­dan­ce of tea­cher Gas­ton Nicho­les­si, it’s a gre­at chan­ce to learn some­thing new. And make memo­ries for the rest of your life.

It was a real buzz!
