Váž. kolegovia,
som nesmierne rad, že Vás môžem informovať o úspešnej reprezentácii Slovenskej Aikido Asociácie ako ja celého Slovenska na prvom ročníku SportAccord Combat Games.
Ktoré sa konalo 28. augusta - 4. septembra 2010 v Čínskom Pekingu. Chcem sa osobne poďakovať a vyzdvihnúť príkladnú reprezentáciu pánov Maria Černého (Aikido dojo
Trnava) a Miroslava Šmída (Aikido Ikeda dojo Praha). Ďakujem.
S pozdravom.
Roman Ilavský --------------------------------------------- Dear All, Just a short note to thank you all for showing the best in Aikido and for being such great bunch of aikidokas. Dr. Goldsbury and I had a brief meeting with the SportAccord staff and they said that Aikido was the most visible martial art in the Chinese press this time. I can not post anything as yet since I am still in China with no access to facebook but hopefully we can show the tremendous amount of positive reporting and visuals from the media. You all have done a spectacular presentation. I personally believe you have captured the hearts of many Chinese citizens since we visited a local dojo and they told us that they are receiving a good number of telephone calls inquiring about the aikido classes available locally. They are eager to have many aikido friends come and teach them for their learning. I am writing to you know so that you send us your inputs so that we can present to SportAccord and also use it internally for us to make a better experience next time. So please pencil down some items you think could have been done better, what you liked about the demo program and what could have been done to make it better. We have already received nice constructive criticism and hope to get tons from you all. Also we shall start asking you to share your photos in facebook, if you have not done so already, here in China so that we can motivate the other federations that for one reason or another could not come to join us this time can join us next time. As we all know, we did not compromise the spirit of Aikido and we are very happy that the local audience loved us. Today Lydia, Dr. Goldsbury and I attended the Kendo competition and demonstration. It was really nice but it showed that the path that O Sensei gave us is more suitable for the modern times. See you more online....!! Cheers.
