Conversation with Ukrainian Aikido Instructors: Aikido Fundraiser for Ukraine
Get a glimpse into the lives of real people in Ukraine in this powerful and moving live recorded conversation with five Ukrainian Aikido instructors.
After a brief introduction of each instructor, they each have a turn to answer the following questions:
- How has the war impacted your life personally?
- How has the war impacted your dojo and the lives of your dojo members?
- How has the war impacted your view of Aikido and it's importance in your life?
- How can we best help you?
If you missed the live event, there's still time to donate.
