AIKIDO PRACTICE (KEIKO)
AIKIDOTRAINING (KEIKO): our training is structured in several parts:
- Kokyo Ryoku and Misogi: meditative breathing exercises, or ki-respiration, to consciously connect the body and mind and to bring them as close as possible to the present moment. Misogi originally is a Shinto purification ceremony. To put it simple words: it's a very deep abdominal breathing (with voice). Best known is probably "Toho Kami Emitame" and "Hei Ho, Hei Za" for "rowboat exercise" Funakogi Undo.

- Ki Waza and Tai No Sabaki: Exercise-tuned breathing to center and expand, to strengthen and not to lose the center, to ground and to totally relax.
- Aiki Waza: Aikido techniques static, moving and spontaneously fluent (Takemusu).
- Buki Waza: weapons training with Bokken (wooden sword), Jo (stick) and Tanto (wooden knife). weapon against weapon, unarmed against weapon and katas (forms with sword or stick)

TRAINING (KEIKO)
AIKIDO is a very exciting and relaxing way, as well. In Keiko, we start with mental and physical relaxation exercises to increase our presence. By sharpening those and natural attention, we become more sensitive and intuitive. The feeling for our natural self, our center and the flow of interaction develops and goes deeper. The more relaxed You are, the easier it is, to bring body and mind into the present moment, to find the right timing and to increase responsiveness. After just a few hours there should be achievement of a noticeable improvement. As an adult, you can get into ongoing training at any age, without fear of embarrassing yourself. For advanced aikidokas it is a pleasure to pass on their skills and experience and to learn from others.
