Promotion of Shintô Musô Ryû in Paris
Febuary 2007
Pascal Krieger was, this year again, invited by T. Shewan Sensei, to participate in an official Aikido seminar in Paris on 10 February. The theme of the seminar, exhibited in four styles behind Tiki and Pascal, reads: "There is no favourable wind for someone who does not know where he is going (Seneca)". The method is as follows: Tiki shows an Aikido technique and Pascal translates the same principle in Jo. The same with Ken, and, this time, even Judo ne-waza. At the end, a presentation on calligraphy was given. If we consider the reactions just after the seminar, it seems that it has been highly appreciated.
The next day, the same experience was renewed at the department level near Gometz to boost Dan Guesset (at Tiki's right on the picture, in Keikogi) newly established in Paris who proposed to develop Jo and Iai in this region.
