Thus, the NW is not only a very enjoyable physical activity that is useful to stay in shape in a "soft" and natural way, but also a discipline that - in addition to "form" - pursues the "Formation" of the person who practices it, in his multiple contexts linked to the social and relational context of which it is part.
