Ulrike Serak

7th Dan Aikikai Tokyo, Shihan

Ulrike Serak began her aikido journey while studying at the German Sport University in Cologne. She trained almost daily for 14 years, first in Düsseldorf and then in Berlin, and attended numerous seminars led by renowned aikido masters in Germany and abroad. Even after establishing her first dojo in Berlin-Wilmersdorf, she has maintained an intensive teacher-student relationship with Christian Tissier Shihan, whose courses she continues to attend. Her numerous visits to a Japanese Zen monastery and her close relationship with Harada Sekkei Roshi have added depth to her teaching.

Max Eriksson Ohlwein

6th Dan Aikikai Tokyo, Dojo Cho

Max began training in Aikido with Gerd Walter in Berlin at the age of 17 and has been teaching at the Dojo am Gleisdreieck since 2002. To find inspiration, he attends countless seminars led by various Aikido masters across Europe and regularly travels to Japan. However, Christian Tissier Shihan remains his role model as an Aikido master.
In addition to Aikido, he also teaches the traditional Kashima Shinryu Kenjutsu and draws valuable inspiration for his teaching from Shiatsu and Contact Improvisation.

Werner Gräf

5th Dan Aikikai Tokyo

Werner has been training with Ulrike Serak Sensei since 1995 and teaches the Friday morning class at the dojo. As the highest-ranking student in the Dojo, he leads the advanced training sessions when required. In 2006, he initiated a project teaching aikido and violence prevention to children in the Wassertor neighborhood of Berlin-Kreuzberg. Building on his experience in this project, he established an Aikido Dojo for children and young people in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 2011. This led to the creation of the Aikido und Gewaltfreie Kommunikation e. V. association in 2015.
