Congress Ki 2

The congress: use of Ki in sport 2, 9 November in Papendaal

I was one of the speakers, titel: Ki in Budo Education in Japan
Since this year, 2012, Aikido also became one of the budo items which could be taught in Japanese junior high schools. This plan will continue at least next 10 years. In order to spread the principle of Aikido, we work hard in different settings.
