Combat sports and martial arts Paris 17th 75017

Founded in 1969 by Alain End, this family aikido club of about members is one of the oldest in the capital; it brings together conviviality and experience. Three teachers (5 ^th, 4 ^th and 2nd dan) are passionate about this whole world. Affiliated with FFAAA, he proposes a traditional method of teaching aikido, recognized by the Tokyo Aïkikai, the institution that governs this martial art in the world. Courses are at all levels, from beginners to highest grade, and last 1 hour on average. They're focused on movement, which makes them quite physical. Work with weapons is not forgotten and plays an important role in the course of learning. Finally, the members, 35 on average (2/3 men and 1/3 women) are several times in the year invited to courses where several masters or Sensei convey their knowledge. A rare chance in Paris.

The Krav Maga Paris Ouest is with its 250 members, one of the most important clubs of Krav Maga Self Defence of the capital. It was founded in 2006 by two former students of Richard Douieb, Mickaël Obadia, black belt 4 ^th dan, the highest degree behind the master and Benjamin Serfatis, black belt 2 ^e dan. The club is affiliated with the European Federation of Krav Maga, which guarantees, in the content of training, consistency and guarantee of quality. The courses take place in two different locations. Either at the Léon Biancotto gymnasium (17 ^th), at 2, rue Commandant-Guibaud in the 16 th arrondissement. The courses are provided by the two founders and Jimmy Huvet, also black belt 2nd dan. All levels are accepted, with at the end of the season the possibility of passing belts. Two key poles are here, self-defence and combat. All the techniques of the maga krav are, of course, addressed according to the degree of progress of each of the participants. To go further, themes are organized every two months. It is an opportunity to perfect its defences against the attack on the stick, the knife, react against the threat to the gun, deepen its bases in self-defence or prepare for the examination of the passage of the belts. A club reference to Paris!
