7 Days, Various Perspectives: Aikido
More than 15 female and male instructors sharing a common sentiment.
Over 7 days, we will have the teachings of various instructors, most of whom lead their own dojos. Some invited international Sensei complement the diversity.
This event aims to allow Aikido practitioners in Mexico to approach different perspectives of the art that unites them. In this way, we believe they can refine their practice and strengthen their own foundations.
We acknowledge that since the very origin of Aikido, emphasis has been placed on natural body movements and their personal expression, while respecting certain principles. As the popularity of the art has grown worldwide, it has been influenced by diverse cultures and perspectives. This seminar brings together women and men with extensive experience to share their interpretation of the art. Their ranks are recognized by the Aikikai Foundation, and each has between 10 and 35 years of experience in the practice and teaching of Aikido.
The fee for participating in the seminar is as follows:
- $800 Mexican pesos per person for the entire seminar if payment is made before March 1st.
- $1,000 Mexican pesos per person for the entire seminar if payment is made after March 1st.
- $900 Mexican pesos per person for the entire seminar for practitioners coming from outside of CDMX.
