A total of 30 participants from various homes and shelters in the Western Division are taking part in a two-day Taiso workshop hosted by the Fiji National Sports Commission (FNSC) at the Western Disability Centre in Lautoka.
The workshop, which began yesterday and concludes today, aims to promote inclusive physical fitness through gymnastics-based exercises suitable for all ages and abilities. Participants include representatives from the Golden Age Home, Daulomani Home, and Red Cross Ba.
The training is being conducted by Professor Araki Tatsuo, an academic member of the Nippon Sport Science University (NSSU) in Tokyo, Japan.
“This time, the workshop is more professional. We are teaching participants the Taiso program the first day focuses on basic movements, while the second day goes into detail on how to teach and apply the exercises,” he said.
Professor Araki described the response from participants as very encouraging, noting that many were eager to learn and share the knowledge within their communities.
