Final year seminar - Puteaux 2025

From 30 June to 4 July 2025, another final year seminar took place in Puteaux under the guidance of sensei Pascal Durchon. Individual kenjutsu training was conducted by sensei Andrzej Bazylko. Aikido training was used to build confidence in oneself, one's own abilities and skills, and to build confidence in one's partner to perform techniques safely, yet consistently and decisively. The work involved building on rotation and using gravity, without unnecessary use of force. The kenjutsu training sessions mainly covered aishin kumi tachi material. Individual classes were tailored to the level of those taking part. For those joining the advanced group, it included kihon dachi, for instructors it included learning kata from kassen dachi and batto jutsu, and for others it included aishin kumi tachi.
