The Open Keiko serves as an exchange between the dojos in the region and is open to all interested aikidoka.

Christian Wierer is the founder and head instructor at TV Miltenberg's aikido department. He holds a 5th dan Aikikai Tokyo.

Christian is currently interested in the expansion of aikido from formally prescribed techniques to a lively, intuitive and yet very clear execution of the movements. He likes to challenge inspiration and surprise in aikido, stick and sword, dancing and many other things in life.

Klaus Messlinger is the founder and head instructor of Aikido Oberursel. He holds a 4th dan Aikikai Tokyo.

Klaus is particularly interested in encounters where tori only does what is absolutely necessary. For him, "Aiki" means that a technically convincing execution is always completed by an internal form. It is exciting to develop the sensitivity for an adequate response, where tori takes the attack seriously while remaining calm and connected to uke.
