Our next stop on the way of Aikido was the Gien, France. Gien is a peaceful city on the banks of the river Loire. We did the first training at a dojo with a wonderful view of the river. The next training at the Intercommunal Dojo, the largest dojo we have ever practiced. The fact that there is such a large dojo even in a small city shows the importance given to Budo in France.

We are grateful to our teacher Nebi Vural who enlightens us with his valuable knowledge in this seminar. Thanks to Eric Bordillon and Gien Dojo who hosted the Aikido seminar.

Special thanks to Manuel and Sebastien for their help.
