IAF Disability Working Group

Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow.

—Morihei Ueshiba

The Disability Working Group consists at the moment of 7 members: Magali Chambenoit-Levy from France, William Burrel and Martos Aineias from Greece, Jacqueline von Arb from Norway, Molly Hale from the USA, Lydia Zydel from the Netherlands, and Timo Reilmann from Germany.
