Aikido means learning how to defend oneself and perhaps others without the use of violence.
The lessons focus on:
-
Learning techniques in order to use for self-defence without the use of violence, when attacked, challenged or in conflict that may arise on street, at work or in the family, as well as to face the stress that arise from these situations.
-
Improving one's physical condition as well as the connection of mind-heart-body, while strengthening resilience in everyday life.
-
Cultivating and empowering individuals to seek peaceful coexistence in society, fostering 'unity in diversity'.
Lessons description
- Teaching is personalised so that every student progresses at his/her own level and speed.
-
Class starts with warming-up exercises followed by training in aikido techniques; training is in pairs, regardless of body type, age or gender and it is characterised by cooperation between the pairs and also between students and teachers.
-
The use of wooden weapons (sword (bokken), rod (jo) and knife (tanto) aims at sharpening perception and reaction, as well as perfecting body-mind coordination and speed.
-
Kids, especially, learn techniques and principles of aikido adapted to their age, so that they are able to perceive danger on time and react without panicking.
-
Kids cultivate further their physical coordination abilities and their perception, and in so doing they learn to be self-confident and to concentrate on the tasks at hand.
- Advanced and beginners' training takes place in small groups.
If we could describe the sphere in the dojo (school) in a few words that would be friendliness, cooperation and the feeling of community, where every one retains his or her autonomy while feeling part of the group.
Instruction language
We speak: Greek, German, English, and Dutch. The names of techniques are in Japanese.
