Class types:

Beginners classes are for people new to aikido and children.

Basic aikido classes are suitable for all practitioners with basic ukemi skills from 6. kyu onwards. Focus is in kata (form) of the techniques.

Advanced classes focus more on ”aikido internals” and typically have faster pace than other classes. No grade requirements, but participants are expected to be familiar with basic techniques and attack forms and to know how to do ukemi also in faster situations.

Seminars

We arrange several aikido seminars every year. Forthcoming seminars in 2023:

Some of the internationally known instructors who have visited us regularly include Franck Noël (7th dan), Takeshi Yamashima (8th dan), Hiroshi Ikeda (7th dan), Kaname Ariga (6th dan) and Gaston Nicolessi (6th dan).
