In our aikido journey, this time we were in Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon is a wonderful coastal city where the Tejo river and the Atlantic ocean meet.

We attended a 2-day seminar given by Nebi Vural, founder and technical director of the Eurasia Aikido Organization. In addition to other cities in Portugal, there were participants from the Netherlands, France, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. During the seminar, we had a great practice and made new friends! We had a good time with our friends, Çağdaş and Audrey.

At the seminar, Professor Joaquim Caleiro was awarded 7th Dan by Nebi Vural for his contribution to the Portuguese aikido. We thank Portuguese Union of Aikido (UPA) for organizing the seminar.
