During the destructing thunderstorm on June 07th 2015 the accommodation was flooded, destroyed and everything devastated.
The dojo was covered with water some 1.80 m (70.90 inch) high!
The result: the former plain white walls are brown, covered with mud! The mats are completely saturated with dirty water and scattered in the room! The floor is covered with a thick layer of sludge. The hand worked wooden weapons were swimming in the water and are now cracked! The originally bright parquet floor is dark, steeped and crushed out. One wall is broken down and even the outer wall is pressed in!
The whole dojo, constructed with all of our heart is completely destroyed.
Only the aikido-founder`s picture is still hanging at its place, above 1.8 m (70.90 inch). O`Sensei Morihei Ueshiba is still watching and guarding the scene.
PLEASE HELP US TO CONTINUE THE TRAINING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AT A NEW PLACE!
With this campaign we like to give the heads of the Dojo, Vincenzo and his helping hand David, some hope in this dark hours and to show them: WE ARE STILL THERE!
And: IT WILL GO ON!!!
- hopefully…
With your help it`ll be possible for sure!
