Yesterday (Monday 17.12.2012) our club was honored to host two exquisite masters - Antonio Albanese 6.dan and his wife Luisa 4.dan. Antonio Albanese is a national technical director for Association International aikido Kobayashi ryu. We hope we will have them again soon, and with an opportunity to learn more from them.
Thank you for your visit, senseis.

Antonio Albanese and Luisa

Our club had the honour to present aikido to the TV viewers in Macedonia. With the help of Sanja from TOP FORMA show on 24VESTI TV:

The day came. Visiting the place of the origin of our embraced art will be a great thrill. Looking forward to it. Expect a detailed report when I get back. Domo arigato gozaimasu!

We will have trainings at regular terms by the end of June, then, in July and August we will practice outdoor with a sword and a stick.
The schedule for outdoor exercise will be announced later this month.
Also, July and August Saturday mornings will be reserved for trainings for Hojo. If you are interested, please apply by mail for easier organization.

Experiences are accumulating and learning never stops.

Last weekend was held the announced seminar in Nushatel, Switzerland, on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the club "Dojo de Neuchâtel - Espace Culturel" led by Eric Graf 3.Dan Aikikai. Invited were 10 aikido teachers from several countries and each gave one training. Together with the initial and final training of the host, in two days we had 12 trainings. A lot. But just in another circumstances that would have resulted with dissatisfaction. A pleasant atmosphere that reigned until the very end, even though fatigue was also present, gave enthusiasm to all participants to devote to practice.

12 different teachers, 12 different approaches to teaching, 12 different expressions, but only ONE Aikido. Our martial art is like any other art or science. And each of us will learn a thing or two, much or very little, shallow or deep, but no one can learn it all and that's good because it will remain as a reason to meet and exchange new experiences.

Following the end of the seminar we had the opportunity to practice on a regular training in Neuchatel, then we visited the club in Oftringen and finally in our "Aikido mecca" - Basel, with our teacher Michele Quaranta. All experiences more then beautiful.

I give gratitude to the host for the given trust and honor to teach at this seminar together with 9 other guest lecturers. I thank to all who participated in the jubilee seminar of the Neuchatel club and hope that these seminars will become a regular practice to get together more often.

Quaranta sensei
