Jakob is a lecturer at Malmo University and a 5th dan Aikido practitioner. In this episode, we concentrate on the topics of martial arts, particularly Aikido, and its interplay with his scientific career and life in general. We talk about Ukemi, the art of receiving or in other words handling an attack or technique, managing aggression, discipline and creativity, and how the current pandemic has affected our life, considering how important the Dojo is for our physical and psychological health.
