Come and join us and take a deep dive into this intriguing martial art. Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art created in the 1920s and means “The Way of Harmony of Spirit”.The focus is on personal improvement by continuous practice, honing your skills and techniques.

Beginner Aikido Classes

Participate in our specialized workshops that cover various aspects of Aikido, from self-defense techniques to philosophical teachings. Each workshop provides an immersive experience to deepen your practice.

Aikido Workshops

Aikido is mostly known for its powerful, effortless, dynamic and flowing throwing techniques. Beautiful to watch, this does not come easy and requires a lot of training and practice. However, before you can flow you will have to be able to walk. Our practice focuses on developing strong &amp; precise basic techniques, using correct posture and body movement.

Taijutsu

Weapons practice is an important aspect of our training. Not every club practices the solo Katas (forms or patterns) and partner exercises, but we consider this to be an essential element of learning Aikido. It teaches you correct posture, body movement, distance and timing.

Weapons Practice

Personal development is a key element of Aikido. We strongly believe that you should train and practice with as many people as you can. Have an open mind and learn from your experiences. Going to seminars gives you the opportunity to learn from some very respected teachers and train with people from other clubs.

### 繁花似锦与最贴切的不幸:
    好多年前的一个行为艺术,他把玉米面等沙粒,从分散状态清扫成一堆,像冰冻的树叶,现在回看起来,就像是多年后的我,在慢慢散落期盼着再一次被人清扫成堆,在流浪的土地上照射的阳光不再温暖,但我却依旧再次期盼着穿过这块鲜花凋谢的地方,向往的美好会不会像塑料花一样,阳光融化了河流,而月光玷污了我的心绪.这种疼痛禁锢的锁链明明在那一年我濒死时已经解锁了,我想再次感受那2次的“天堂之行”让我想起那眼中希望的烈火,仍旧能照亮我.
    现在一去不回的过往时光,就像我喜欢的朝阳,不是那么的耀眼却能直击那憔悴不堪的心,总希望自己能在正阳升起时,享受阳光轮奂之美时也带走我那敏感的思绪.  
    走在阳光里总是在忆想:是不是应该只追求表面的答案呢?如果只是这样会不会错过更多无可替代的东西?她们都说我这样的人:“总是满怀着希望却又不相信永远....”,可谁又知道:即使在不幸的时期我也一样期待着明天.
    人们总觉得看透的捷径是:要探究彼此的一切,有没有想过?等那根橡皮筋崩断了,我相信必是天黑的情景,就算当晚繁星闪烁看来也走不出悲剧之夜了.
