On Saturday, September 26, in Pavlograd, Dnipropetrovsk region, on the basis of the Club of Applied Aikido “Shershen”, the annual autumn seminar on Applied Aikido and club rank-test of students for new belts took place.

The event was led by the head coach of the Applied Aikido Club “Kyiv” Andriy Ryzhakov, black belt 4 Dan, and his assistant Yuriy Yevtushenko, black belt 1 Dan. Representatives of CAA “Lazar” Yuriy Petrovichev and Valery Prykhodchenko also took part in the seminar. Unfortunately, the quarantine restrictions did not allow representatives of clubs from Odessa and Sloviansk to attend the event, but we are sure that in the future we will be able to see each other at seminars in Pavlograd and in other cities of Ukraine.

We would like to note the excellent organization of the event, which took place in a friendly atmosphere and was very productive. We also praised the level of preparation of all pupils and coaching staff of CAA “Shershen” for the seminar and rank-test. We are proud of the progress that all students have made since our last meeting and wish them progress in the field of learning of Applied Aikido.

We also want to congratulate all applicants on receiving new belts, both for children and adults. We wish you to conquer new peaks and relentlessly move forward.

You can see a photo report from the event here.

Sincerely,
Coaching staff of the Club of Applied Aikido “Lazar”
