To inspire people through Aikido. What's up cuties? Sono Ritsu, insegnante di arti marziali, coach e mediatore digitale e questo podcast nasce dal mio desiderio di ispirare le persone attraverso la saggezza dell'Aikido. Ma cos'è questo Aikido? Da chi non lo ha mai sentito nominare a chi lo fraintende completamente! L'Aikido è il linguaggio di cui abbiamo bisogno oggi: in un mondo di competizioni, l'Aikido insegna la collaborazione. In un mondo digitale, l'Aikido insegna a sentire il corpo dell'altro. In un mondo di vittorie facili, l'Aikido insegna la consapevolezza e la motivazione lungo il percorso.  L'Aikido mi ha cambiato la vita e mi ha permesso di focalizzare cosa manca oggi sia online che offline: uno spazio dove condividere se stessi, ispirarsi reciprocamente e crescere insieme, prendendo le cose semplicemente! Non ci sono guru o santoni qui, nè gli insegnamenti del secolo. Questo podcast è, in fondo, solo un pretesto. Un momento di riflessione, per fare un piccolo passo in avanti, ogni giorno. E da coach, non amo parlare a voi, amo parlare con voi! Commentate i post di Instagram sulle nuove puntate, mandate DM con le vostre idee, domande, ispirazioni e costruiamo ogni episodio e la nostra community insieme!

For those who have never heard of it to those who completely misunderstand it!Aikido is the language we need today: in a world of competition, Aikido teaches collaboration.
