What is Ki-Aikido?
Ki-Aikido combines training the mind with training the body. Mind moves body. Therefore, Ki-Aikido does not focus on repetition of different 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.

Daito-ryu seminar in Stavanger
with Mikko Montonen.
Stavanger Siddishallen, 25 March 2023 at 13-15.
Before his passing in 2013, Yutaka Amatsu sensei granted Montonen with kyoju dairi (teaching lisence) after having taught him all techniques in the 9 volumes of the Soden books (547 techniques). Soden – sometimes referred to as the secret syllabus of Daito-ryu – was compiled in the early 1940s by Takuma Hisa. It contains photos of the techniques taught by first Morihei Ueshiba (in 1934-1936) and then the founder Sokaku Takeda (in 1936-1939) at the Asahi newspaper Osaka branch. More info about Soden and our Daito-ryu branch.
Everybody is welcome from all martial arts!
