Dear members,

even though the year is coming to an end, there is still a lot going on in the dojo.

December begins with Susen Werner’s course. Susen has already been to our dojo twice and we are really looking forward to her great lessons.

Just one week later, on Saturday, December 7th, we have the dojo Christmas party.

The following weekend, Max will be giving a mini-workshop on the topic of “Aikido and Shiatsu”.

The year will then end with our traditional winter course between the years.
Some of us will be taking Dan exams and there will also be candidates from Christiane and Werner.

You can find all the information about the seminars under Seminars here on the website.

We wish you a good start to the winter.

By the way, Aikido helps against the cold and darkness.

So come to practice. 😉

Best wishes
Ulli and Max

Dear dojo members,

Summertime is vacation time, and mainly seminar time for Max and me.

We will have a reduced schedule again from July 20th to September 15th.

Probably, we will also close the dojo for a week or two, as our assistant teachers are not always available.

We are, currently working on the plan, which will be on the website by the beginning of July.

But training is still going on as usual.

See you soon on the mat
