More than 20 aikido teachers from all over the Czech Republic participated in the training of teachers of the Czech Aikido Federation, which we hosted in February in Prague’s Vinohrady. The training was conducted by Martin Švihla from our club and René Novotný from Třebíč.
In the autumn of 2021 the Czech Aikido Federation held its first national seminar in Karlin, Prague, and since it was really around the corner, we attended the seminar in large numbers.
7 days and 6 hours of training a day. Training with and without weapons, indoors and outdoors, during day and during night, in keiko-gi and tracksuit. And with food, games, massages, sleep, additional training and exams in between. See the video!
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.
During the lockdowns, we practiced online and could have only dream about organizing our regular international seminars. We also had to cancel the annual seminar with Jan Nevelius, scheduled for March. So at least we organized an online training with him. And it was a truly international event – more than fifty aikidas from all over the world joined our Zoom. Here we offer an hour-long video recording.
In this camp, children first become strong and courageous warriors and then they learn to be aikidists – people who help others and protect lives. This year we experienced 5 days full of training, games and Japanese culture inside in the gym and outside in nature.
For us, first aid is not just a professional skill that our teachers and assistants need for their work. First aid is also an attitude towards life and other people – interest, courage, communication, skillfulness…
So, together with excelent PrPom, we again organized an experiential first aid course for our team and our young aikidokas.
The theory was dense and the model situations were tense – but in the end we managed it and still enjoyed it. Take a look at the photos!
Atlantic Ocean, oysters, cheese, wine and aikido – this is a two-week summer school of aikido on the French island of Oleron. Usually we go there in a larger group, this year we traveled only Martin, Vanda and Barborka.
We really enjoyed it all – you can join us next time!
After lockdowns, as soon as it was possible, we started to practice outside. Running, climbing, monkey tracks, wrestling, fencing… there was so much movement that we didn’t even miss the tatami.
In June, another company team tried out aikido as well as Japanese sword traning with us, exploring aikido principles and their use in everyday life. In the morning we exercised a lot and after a good lunch we had a bit easier time – because one of the aims for the participants was to rest from their heavy workload.
Both children and adults need movement during the quarantine – movement strengthens your immune system and creates shared experiences. So dear parents, if you work from home and have children between 5–8 years old- we offer you inspiration for playful fun. These videos can help you unwind after a long week of work and homeschooling.
We made a video. About Aikido and about us. In our video, there are people who practice together. It contains movement, joy, touch, concentration, communication, humanity, playfulness and depth.
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.
is a school of the martial art aikido for adults, youth and children.
Considering the amount of our classes, number of students and high level of organized seminars we belong among the most active European aikido clubs.
