Event Information
In this 4-part introductory course you will learn the basics of Aikido, a non-violent Japanese martial art.
Diverse movements, quick reactions and use of the whole body – this is what characterises Aikido. But what’s more, regular practice helps you to build self-confidence and to develop inner calm in conflict situations.
Our training includes a short meditation, breathing and warm-up exercises, rolling and falling exercises, and of course the techniques with the partners, which we make particularly beginner-friendly for this introductory course.
We practise various techniques from standing and kneeling positions, which are suitable for defence against grabs, punches and strikes. We aim to develop a good posture combined with a focused attitude to be able to neutralise attacks without anyone coming to harm.
Aikido is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels (admissions start from age 16 ).
To enjoy Aikido you should
like to move, feel comfortable to practise in groups and embrace the idea of frequently rolling on mats. You may start with any of the classes: they each have a different focus topic and only loosely build on each other. Naturally, we recommend participation in all four classes 😉
Our instructors speak English.
Checklist for the class:
Come in comfortable sportswear (long track-suit trousers, t-shirt), and bring a pair of slippers. We practise barefoot.
Please bring something to drink.
We meet 15 min before each class to set up the mats together.
Participate in this introductory offer if you can imagine to afterwards train at least twice every week, and if you can make room for this in your diary – starting right after the course (see our class schedule ).
Membership of the TV Weißkirchen sports club is very affordable and covers all Aikido classes - more information on the club′s website .
