Martial arts enthusiasts enjoyed an intense weekend of aikido. Participants received an aikido course in both its self-defense aspect and the use of traditional weapons. Adults and children learned the different techniques and are already thinking about new martial arts courses.

The second edition of the Aikido Course "Summer School" Lanzarote 2010 was organized by the Aiki Canarias collective, belonging to the Canary Judo and Associated Sports Federation and the Aikido department of the Waza-Ari Judo Club. The course was directed by Professor Moisés Gómez López and was attended by Masters Juan Febles Molina (5th dan), Modesto Tomé (4th dan) and Víctor Pulido (4th dan), as well as other practitioners from Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

The course lasted 6 hours, divided into three classes of two hours each. During the course, different aspects of Aikido as a martial art were worked on, both in its self-defense aspect and in the use of traditional weapons.

The II Aikido Course "Summer School" was used to carry out the grade exams. Both the children, on Saturday morning, and the adults, on Sunday, faced the grade exams and were able to demonstrate everything they had learned throughout the season.

The Municipal Sports Hall of Arrecife was the place chosen for the development of the course and the organizers had the collaboration of the Cabildo of Lanzarote, the City Council of Arrecife and Tías, Lude Servicios and Grupo Fariones S.A. In addition, the Judo Delegation of Lanzarote also collaborated in the organization of the event.

The Aikido department of the Waza-Ari Judo Club is preparing the next courses to be held. In the month of October, the II Initiation to Laido Course and the III Monographic Aikido Course will be held.
