Discover the samurai in you!

In the summer holidays, and as part of the initiative Platzwechsel ("changing positions, get up and move") we offer you a programme to expand your range of movement: in our two special classes you will take your first steps in the non-violent Japanese martial art Aikido.

Diverse movements, quick reactions and use of the whole body – this is what characterises Aikido. But what’s more, regular practice helps you to build self-confidence and to develop inner calm in conflict situations.

Our training includes a short meditation, breathing and warm-up exercises, rolling and falling exercises, and of course the techniques with the partners, which we make particularly beginner-friendly for the "Platzwechsel" classes.

We practise various techniques from standing and kneeling positions, which are suitable for defence against grabs, punches and strikes. We aim to develop a good posture combined with a focused attitude to be able to neutralise attacks without anyone coming to harm.

Good to know!

Aikido is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. At our dojo, admissions start from age 14.

You may start with any of the classes, they only loosely build on each other. Naturally, we recommend participation in both classes 😉

Our instructors speak English.

And afterwards?

Participate in this introductory course if you can imagine to afterwards train once or twice every week, and if you can make room for this in your diary (see our class schedule).

Membership of the TV Weißkirchen sports club is very affordable and covers all Aikido classes - more information on the club’s website.
