Restoring natural body movements through Nanba: William Reed at TEDxTrondheim

Interested in Japanese culture from an early age, William Reed traveled to Japan at the age of 20 to embark on a lifetime study of Aikido, Japanese language and culture. Effectively walking the path of the 'Renaissance Samurai', William is an entrepreneur, Aikido trainer, and professional translator. He is also a master in Nanba, the art of moving with physical finesse. These techniques have wide-ranging applications, from enhancing performance in sports and music, to relieving stress in everyday movements such as standing and walking.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations).
