More than a Japanese martial art, Aikido is a sport and above all a true philosophy of life.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>This introduction to Aikido will be given to 8 to 13 year olds by Christophe Larive, a qualified and experienced instructor, black belt, 5th dan aikikai, who has lived in Japan for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The practice of Aikido allows children to <strong>learn self defence in a fun way and to better manage stress and conflicts<\/strong>. The physical work around the gestures and motor coordination allows to develop a certain stability, as well on the psychic as on the motor level. Aikido is an excellent way to let off steam while respecting oneself and the partner. It helps to channel energy and manage emotions. Through its practice, children work on their postural attitude, control and coordination of movements. The use of wooden accessories allows the child to centre himself more quickly, to erase parasitic gestures, to build up movements with precision, and to anchor in him the notions of danger and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, adherence to Bushido (the traditional Japanese martial arts code of honour) and the distinctive spirit of non-violence that characterises Aikido will enable children to develop self-control and moral values such as modesty, courage, sincerity, kindness, respect and politeness.<\/p>\n<p>The word Aikido means: <strong>AI<\/strong> = Harmony <strong>KI<\/strong> = Energy <strong>DO<\/strong> = Path !<\/p>\n<p>Come and learn about this very special art and culture!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Please note:<\/strong> a kimono is recommended (if you have one), but not mandatory; sportswear is sufficient to participate in this camp.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2811.mov\">Video: short demo of tricks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-957278\" src=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-720x1280.jpg 720w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-scaled.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_5496-600x1067.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/a> \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-957276\" src=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"271\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-960x1280.jpg 960w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_6931-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-957280\" src=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2785-601x340.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-957274\" src=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"488\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iil-camps.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_2289-1-601x340.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Practical information<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>8:30am-8:55am: welcome \/ registration at IIL<\/p>\n<p>9:00am-10:30am: 1st part of morning camps<\/p>\n<p>10:30am-11:00am: snack and break.
