About Aikido

Aikido has its roots in traditional Japanese martial arts.
Through the study of several budo arts, asceticism and meditation "Morihei Ueshiba" the founder of Aikido succeeded in recreating the true roots of the martial arts, which is the harmony between man and nature.  Martial arts should  not be used as a tool of destruction - they should be used as a path where we can re-learn to live in harmony with the energies of the universe.

The founder called his art: Ai - Ki - Do 
"Being in harmony with the life force as a way of daily practise."





        "Aikido is a
                Way of the heart"

   "True strength means
      changing fight in to peace" 

                              Morihei Ueshiba
                                     1883-1969


 

Aikido means movement - learning through the body. Aikido is a moving meditation. Through ritualised movement we learn how to connect the strength of body, mind and heart.
The awareness for this process develops relaxation, concentration and self confidence.
It is not possible to experience just through the intellect - Aikido has to be experienced in the whole and with all our senses.
At the practice hall, called the "Dojo", training takes place in a group under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Everyone can take part in training irrespective of age or sex.
The atmosphere at the Dojo is always characterised by peace and patience - no thoughts about professional performance rather the dedication to find your own rhythm and feeling.
