What is Ki-Aikido?
Ki-Aikido combines training the mind with training the body. Mind moves body. Therefore, Ki-Aikido does not focus on mechanical repetition of techniques, but primarily on training the mind, through which bodily movements become stronger.
Ki-Aikido is suitable for men and women of all ages, and does not require physical strength.
The club exhibits very low hierarchy, and new members are welcome at any time. Senior members will help you to get started.
