Join Aikido black belt and seasoned conflict resolver Stephen Kotev as he explores how to apply verbal Atemi to high-conflict situations.
Speaker Stephen Kotev will introduce the idea of verbal Atemi during the plenary session. In Part 2, Stephen will continue to explore the concept of verbal Atemi as well as how to apply it during high-conflict situations such as mediation during a dynamic breakout session.
