Our instructors

Our instructors are highly qualified, holders of the high mastership ranks issued by the international Aikido Aikikai Foundation in Tokyo.:

Patrik Halo, 4. dan Aikikai
Drahoslav Gašparovič, 4. dan Aikikai
Richard Kováč, 4. dan Aikikai

The instructors regularly improve their skills at the Aikido camps either in Slovakia or abroad, directly at the sensei Nobuyoshi Tamura (8th Dan) or his students:
Nebi Vural (6. dan)
Claude Pellerin (6.dan)
Toshiro Suga (6. dan)
Jaff Raji (5. dan).

The camps take part several times a year and last couple of days. Some of them are held in Slovakia, directly in our clubs.

Our trainers not only tightly cooperate with each other at the Aikido field from the very start of the Aikido establishment in Slovakia, but they also take part at various camps either at home or abroad. Mutual training visits are natural for them, as the know-how sharing is the best way to reach the success, which in this case means the health and goodwill preservation, and, of course, continuous improvement at the area of this this martial art.
