We wish you a nice start to spring.

Dear members,

On 8th of March is International Women’s Day. It’s a Wednesday and Ulli is giving a holiday Aikido session for everyone at 6 p.m.

Also, on March 18, there will be the last chance to take kyu tests before the summer. Please check under seminars for more details.

In April there are the holidays around Easter.
Max will be in Italy during this time and Ulli also wants to take a few days off from the dojo. 😉

• On Good Friday there still will be the morning class at 9 a.m., but no evening class.
  The dojo will be closed on Saturday. On Easter Monday there is one evening class for everyone at 6 p.m.
• At the end of April, April 22nd and 23rd, Micheline Tissier Shihan will come back to our dojo.
  The seminar starts at 12.30 p.m. and Max is giving the basic class at 10 a.m. before that.
  If you already know that you want to participate, please register by e-mail so that we can keep track.

We wish you a good start to spring, even if it feels like winter again right now.

Best regards
Ulli and Max

Hello dojo members,

January is almost over – but only almost because the best is yet to come 😊

🥶🥱😵‍💫 KANGEIKO !

It starts on Monday, January the 30th – just before 6 a.m. meeting point in the dojo, then either Za Zen or a jog.
From 6:30 a.m. Aikido
From 7:30 a.m. Japanese breakfast
We look forward to all early risers!

From February the Akazienzendo will move to us, which we are very much looking forward to.
Two evenings a week (Tuesday and Thursday) there is ZaZen and once a month on Sundays there is an all-day event.

We wish the group a good transition from one place to another, we hope to get to know each other carefully with openness and respect – synergy effects cannot be ruled out. Let’s give them some space and time to settle down, then we’ll see.

Warm greetings
And, as I said, the KANGEIKO is just around the corner!

Max and Ulli

Dear members,

we wish you all a happy and healthy new year.

The course between the years was very well attended and at the end, we had a few Dan exams.
We congratulate Volker and Jeroen on their 1st dan, Alisa and Mario on their 2nd dan, and Helmut on their 3rd dan.

The year also begins with a few interesting events.

• January: Regional course in Hamburg with Ulli and Tom Domroeß
• Jan/Feb: Kangeiko with Zazen and Aikido
• February: Aikido and Kenutsu with Phlippe Orban
• February: Regional course in Berlin with Ulf Rott and Susen Werner
• March: Aikido with Kyu exams with Ulli and Max
• April: Aikido with Micheline Tissier

You can find out more about this under Seminars here on the website.

We are looking forward to another year with you and the encounters on and off the mat.

Warm greetings
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members,

the summer is coming to an End, many have trained regularly even in the great heat, and have sweated profusely.

We are very happy that we have already gained some new dojo members and hope that the trend will continue for a while. We are a lively and dynamic dojo. And this is also because of the newcomers, whether they are beginners or aikidoka with a lot of experience. They all contribute to the atmosphere in our dojo and are always welcome.

We have expanded our offer for beginners:

Anyone interested in weapons training is welcome to attend the class on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.
Additional a new basic class takes place on Fridays at 7:30 p.m.
It is usually led by our advanced students who look forward to gaining teaching experience and supporting you with your first steps.

See you at the dojo 😊
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members,

the summer plan is coming to an end. From Saturday 3rd the full schedule is coming back, with dynamic lessons and basic training.

Hopefully, we’ll still have a few warm weeks and get a nice late summer.

We are very much looking forward to seeing you all on the mat again. Well rested and full of Aikido energy.

Please also have a look at the seminar page of our website.

There will be another sword course with Max in September and on October 22nd Christian Tissier Shihan will come to Berlin for a whole week again.

All the best and see you soon
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members,

Summer has actually arrived, there’s no denying that.

From Monday, July 25th to August 31st, the summer plan 2022 will apply.
There is an Aikido class every evening and all classes are open to all members regardless of which level. The sessions on Wednesday and Friday are particularly suitable for newcomers and beginners. Ulli and Max will mainly teach, but also some of our advanced students.

Please follow this Link to our summer schedule for 2022.

Also, check our website regularly for any changes and announcements.

We wish you all a great summer and look forward to seeing you on the mat in the warm season. 😉

Many greetings
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members,

On Friday there will be a new class at 7:30 pm!
We’re already starting this week, on June 24th.

The training is especially intended for beginners and for those who want to deepen their basics in Aikido.
It is led by advanced students from our dojo, who look forward to supporting you as a group and individually.
Use the additional opportunity to get to know our ambitious prospective Aikido teachers better!

Warm greetings
Ulli and Max

The long May course was a nice event and at the end, there were beautiful exams for the third and second Kyu on Sunday. So we will have two more Hakamas in the Dojo now. 😉

June begins a bit cool and stormy, but hopefully, there will be enough sunshine for the long weekend.

On Whit Monday we have one Aikido class for all levels at 6 pm.

From Tuesday it will continue as usual.

Warm greetings
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members and friends,

I am very happy that there is a reason for a drink in the dojo again. 🍻🥂

I was appointed Shihan of the Aikikai (along with Lothar and Ulf). This is a great achievement for me personally, for our Dojo, and for the Aikido Federation Germany. And it is also a confirmation of decades of dedicated work for Aikido. 🤪

Max and I would like to celebrate with you a little bit on Friday, April 29th after the evening practice.
If you can’t make it to the class, you’re more than welcome to just come and toast with us.

Between 8:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., there is champagne, beer, wine, water, and appetizers.🥂🍻🥨🧀🍣🍕🥒🫒🌶🦴

Until then!
Ulli and Max
