At the dojo, we offer basic and dynamic training. As is customary in Aikido, students of all experience levels practice together. As a member, you can choose your training times and arrange your schedule flexibly. Absolute beginners are welcome to have their first experience in one of the basic classes. People with experience choose according to their level.

IF YOU ARE NEW TO US

As a beginner in Aikido or Kenjutsu, you are welcome to join a basic class, even without any previous experience. If you already have some experience (approx. 2-3 months), you may join the classes for all or the dynamic class (six months of experience is required). All instructors speak English.

For your first practice, please arrive at the dojo 15 minutes before class begins. This gives us enough time to show you everything. You’ll need comfortable clothing, such as sweatpants and a T-shirt. We train barefoot. For your first Kenjutsu practice, we provide a wooden sword.

Please get in touch with us before your first visit using the contact form.

Aikido & Kenjutsu PRACTICE ON AN EQUAL FOOTING

Regardless of whether someone is just starting or is already advanced, everyone can learn from each other. In Aikido, practicing on an equal footing is central. The training is about discovering the content for yourself. Through constant personal exploration, the essence of the exercise will gradually become clear. As teachers, we support this process by providing well-balanced guidance. Our experience has shown that this approach supports long-term learning.
