Conrad has been practising aikido for 27 years and is dojo cho of Riai Aikido Wellington City. He loves everything about aikido, but especially the ‘neuroscience’ of aikido. That is, how to take an attacker’s centre without engaging your muscles, or theirs – to operate below the radar of their consciousness.
Victor is passionate to explore the dynamic relationships in aikido producing effective yet flowing techniques.
