Umenie vnútorného meča - zušľachťovanie moci (3-mesačný cyklus)

The Art of the Inner Sword - Refinement of Power
- three month cycle for both men and women | Bratislava

The paradox of training with a sword is that it is not actually a sword. It is the so-called with a finger pointing at the moon. And few people realize that through this kind of training we also find kindness, gentleness anchored in strength and better orientation in situations.

Why?

Because when you pick up a wooden sword, you very quickly find out how you are doing. Not mentally.
But in the body.

Attitude, breath, weight, intention will show.
It will show whether you push, dodge, or are truly present.

In this three-month cycle, we will train with the wooden sword – the bokken, also as a weapon, but especially as a tool of attention and reflection.

Like a weapon in that sense, that:
– we work with defense, cut, line, distance and timing
– we encounter aggression, assertiveness and pressure in a safe space
– we learn to bear power without unnecessary hardness

And at the same time as a mirror:
– posture of the body
– breath and nervous system
– relationship to own power and boundaries
– behavior in contact with others human

It's not about fighting someone.
It's about the ability to be strong at home - in the body, in movement, in a relationship.

Meetings take place experientially and practically -
in movement, standing still, individually and in pairs.
Not as a performance, but as an exploration and training of conscious power.

I will introduce you to the context of training using several approaches / methods:
- training martial arts technique
- psychology of martial arts
- bodywork and Body Intelligence approach
- constellations
- shaming - UnShaming
- sharing in the circle

The cycle is open to men and women.
No prior experience with martial arts is necessary - just a willingness to be in the body and in contact.
