We are pleased to report on a highly successful and enriching visit to the beautiful nation of Azerbaijan. The primary objective of this visit was to strengthen international bonds within the martial arts community. A key highlight was the productive meeting and exchange with the esteemed instructors and representatives of the Yoshinkan Aikido organization there. This engagement provided a valuable opportunity for in-depth discussion, sharing of technical knowledge, and fostering a spirit of camaraderie and mutual growth. The visit stands as a significant step towards enhancing collaborative efforts and promoting the values of our discipline on an international scale.
