The city, created in 1971 by the university, is one of Europe’s youngest. Surrounded by countryside, it offers an exceptional quality of life to students, researchers, professors and residents. Museums, cinemas, theatres, concert and exhibition halls, a swimming pool and fitness centre, restaurants and cafés, commerce and green spaces all combine to form a whole that is renowned for its convivial and dynamic ambiance.

In aikido, you are physically trained to lean in, or commit to the point of contact with your partner (say, their hand grabbing your wrist) so that you can manipulate their body structure and or momentum. You are also trained to literally enter another person’s space decisively to distract them and or make it easier to take them off balance.
