Kesäjakso 1
Kesän ensimmäisessä podcast-jaksossa keskustellaan aikidoleireistä. Jountajilla ei ole mitään koherenttia punaista lankaa keskustelussa vaan enemmän junnaavaa rupattelua aiheen vierestä. Mutta ehkä jonku mielestä tämäkin on viihdyttävää.
Aikido: The Dance of Machine and Operator
Tori is like a machine without hatred or fear; uke feeds it energy. Aikido is a dance in which trust and cooperation turn movement into art.
Who is aikido for?
