The president of the Interregional Tomiki Aikido Federation Aleksey Shchepikhin thus commented upon the championship results and the trip to Czech Republic in general:
The team took the journey abroad along with the championship with a quite usual for us sense of joy and enthusiasm. Meeting the old and new foreign friends, the communication, the fact of the trip itself was a delight to us.
However, we all positively felt a new, unfamiliar feeling of victory accompanied by the respectful attitude of sportsmen from other countries who used to be far ahead of us in this kind of sport only some years ago. We have made a considerable improvement in the meantime. What mainly gave us the impulse was the visit to Japan and participation in the 8th International Competitive Aikido Tournament in Kyoto (20-21 September 2009).
Watching our sportsmen I saw the things that were just as obvious to the judges and other sportsmen as well as to everybody else present – they were sure of what they were doing. It was as if they found themselves in a familiar situation and knew in advance how to respond to it.
The barrier between our potential (physical, technical and mental) and the capability of utilizing it gave its first cracks in Japan. It was brought to a complete and definite collapse during this championship.And it must be noted that the rumble it made was so acute that nobody could resist noticing it. This applied mainly to the UK team who appeared to be our opponents in the final. In my opinion that was a match between equals, but a draw is not supposed in the finals.
I believe this championship can be treated as a principal step, a significant milestone in the history of Tomiki Aikido development in our country.
