"All strife rests at the bottom of the soul", St Francis de Sales

Thinking martial arts further ...

... means focussing on the ethics of peace that Aikido was born with. It involves practising tried and tested defence techniques with an attitude of non-violence - holistically and of great social value.

Aikido

Self-defence

Aikido techniques are used for physical defence and do not involve counter-attacks. The contact, grip and leverage techniques must be used skilfully and safely so that they protect effectively, remain non-violent and pacify.

Sport

With our training, we offer a sport that promotes coordination, flexibility, strength and endurance. It prevents back pain and illness, compensates for poor posture, supports a secure body awareness and enriches life well into old age.

Meditation

In our dojo, training takes place in meditation: a silent training method in the spirit of the Japanese Zen ways. A few techniques are performed repeatedly with a high level of mindfulness - without being observed or corrected.

Personality development

In addition to an elegant art of defence, other very personal strengths, such as a keen sense of oneself and others, composure and a pronounced willpower, unfold in meditative calm.
