What is Aikido? The literal translation "A path in harmony with the universal energy" raises more questions for western people and gives something mystical. The broad definition of "defensive, modern Japanese martial arts" is easier to understand on the one hand, but on the other hand it leaves a lot out and gives an incomplete picture.

In order to get closer to this, we use a variety of exercises in Keiko (training) - alone, with a partner and also with weapons - that make body and mind agile and fast, connect them and improve coordination.
So much can be revealed: Relaxation, breathing, posture and visualization play a very important role if you want to take up space and move something without exerting a great deal of your own effort ... then it becomes somehow magical ;).
