Cécile Rayroles and Nora Weller at World Combat Games 2023 (Ryiadh)

The World Combat Games take place every 4 years always in a different country. This Time they were in Saudi Arabia (Ryiadh). Over 13 Combat Sport could show their skills. Usually this are martial arts who don`t participate in Olympics. Aikido is one of them. Every country can send just e few athletes (1-4). The athletes are chosen from a Shihan or their own Aikido Forderation. I was luckily to represent Switzerland. It was a great experience to meet skillful Aikidoka from all over the globe.
In this video you se a smal part from the whole demonstration who took over 3 hours. I am glad i could share a demonstration with my friend Cecile Rayroles from France. Please enjoy and keep in mind that this is an demonstration. It is no fight. :-)
