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.
You are welcome to practice with us any time!
