The EAF representative in the GendAi project, Gergő Pasqualetti, 5 Dan, offered an interview while attending the meeting in Ljubljana, in the spring of 2022.
«Today, one of the biggest challenges not only for Aikido but also for other martial arts and sports, is that fewer and fewer people are active. Especially in martial arts, more men than women are active based on their tradition. The GendAi project aims to design and implement measures to encourage women to participate in and persevere in Aikido, as well as to promote female Aikido instructors as role models for both men and women» he said.
