7 days, 6 hours of practice per day. Our week with aikido in countryside.
7 days and 6 hours of training per day. Trainings without weapons and with weapons, indoors and outdoors, day and night, in keiko-gi as well as in sportsuit. And between classes some food, games, massages, sleeping, other voluntary exercises and exams. Sometimes we also sleep. Simply a week with aikido in the Czech Highlands!
“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
