Raphaël Marois

Joshu ITP, Purple Belt

My name is Raphaël and I am 12 years old.  I am bilingual French-English.  I’m a Brown Belt (3rd Kyu) and an ITP (Junsjidosha Candidate).  I have been practicing aikido since May 2017, for at least 5 hours a week. I have participated in several seminars/sleepover seminars in Victoria, Vancouver and Calgary.  I also attended a day of camp at the Big Rock Aikikai dojo in Calgary.

Aikido helps me a lot in terms of my self-confidence, my self-control and forces me to open myself up to others.  It also helps me in English and keeps me strong and flexible.  I like being an ITP because I have special responsibilities that help me be more patient, adapt to others and make me a better leader.
