Other Articles

Through the practice of Aikido, I have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful individuals and great martial artists. More than that, each time I have changed of location, Aikido has been the anchor that allowed me to meet new people and integrate within a city or a country. My work as a chief editor of Aikidoka Magazine, the biggest magazine about Aikido in French language also allowed me to meet prestigious instructors. In this section, I would like to share with you some of the interviews I did over the years with high ranked instructors, articles about my trips and encounters, pictures of seminars and travels, some articles containing my reflections about our Art and some papers written by other instructors. I hope you will enjoy them.
