The Open Keiko serves as an exchange between the dojos in the region and is open to all interested aikidoka.

Marina Sandak teaches at Judo Club Wiesbaden 1922. She holds a 3rd dan Aikikai.

Marina’s focus is on finding the right timing and harmony in the interaction with her partner. Her aikido is a kind of conflict management without fighting, pressure or coercion, but with the right invitation and guidance as the goal. Mindfulness, awareness and inner peace help to execute the technique cleanly, harmoniously and comfortably.

Klaus Messlinger is the founder and head instructor of Aikido Oberursel. He holds a 4th dan Aikikai.

Klaus is particularly interested in how he can establish a vigilant connection with uke that is not perceived as resistance or manipulation and therefore offers no starting point for violent behaviour: "I respect the energy of my counterpart and give it a new direction." Klaus finds it exciting to reach a state in which he takes the attack seriously and at the same time remains calm. In his research, the connection to uke (musubi) plays a central role, and how it enables him to affect their inner structure.
