That Aikido has a martial side is obvious. Aikido and Yoga seem to have much more in common than you might think, you might be surprised to learn. Indeed, for some, Aikido is meditation in motion. One where you can sweat and move. But also completely brings you back to yourself. Experience what it does to you? Then step onto the mat with us.

Experiences

Aikido together with your child

   I started practising aikido last year and I already love it. I wanted to join aikido because I thought it would be fun and because my mum and dad do aikido too. There are nice kids in the group with whom I can laugh a lot (sometimes a bit too much, according to my mum...). And what is also very nice is that mum gets to train with me. I can perform techniques with her! Ando also organises aikido seminars, which I also enjoy. For the time being, I'll keep training at Ando and who knows, I might even get my black belt!

Aikido boosts self-confidence

   Our children have enjoyed training at Ando Aikido for years. They learn a lot, such as rolling, fall breaking and all kinds of techniques. It also gives them more self-confidence. They really feel at home in the dojo. It's nice to see them enjoying themselves on the mat. It is also a nice idea that they can defend themselves.

Respect and pushing boundaries with Aikido

   We enjoy seeing our son push boundaries together with other children and mutual respect, which has led to an increase in his self-confidence. The exercises involving physical contact also help. Edo, the sensei, radiates a lot of calmness, which helps him to get the children on board despite the different levels.

Feel at home on the mat at Ando

   We now have 2 adolescent sons training at Ando. The eldest (14) has been on the mat since he was 7 years old. He was very insecure and did not know how to behave in larger groups. From day one, he felt very much at home here. They take him as he is and he feels that! This gives him self-confidence to show himself. Our youngest son has been training at Ando for almost a year now. He, too, enjoys it very much and, above all, learns a lot. What I especially see in them is that both have gained much more self-confidence in unexpected situations. They know how to keep calm and know what they can do. That gives them, but certainly also us as parents, a very reassuring feeling.

Fun varied Aikido classes

   We really wanted Floris to take up Aikido to become more resilient, but most importantly, Floris also really likes it! The lessons are varied and allow them to run around and learn new things. And as Floris himself says: All ninjas are in Aikido!

Secret language called Aikido

   About nine months ago, my sons Otto (11) and Polle (9) started Aikido. After some persuasion from one of the trainers, I then started too, at 41. First of all, it is of course tremendous fun to learn something new together, to learn a new secret language: "here comes another yokomenuchi!", and to practice and experiment together at home. All three of us are very excited about martial arts and all its facets. In addition, we are already reaping benefits from the trainings, although we can't quite say what that is exactly, it's more of a feeling.

Philosophy

'Aikido is not a martial art where you learn to defeat enemies. It is a way of coming into harmony with humanity where we are as one family. The secret of Aikido is to make yourself one with the universe and move with its natural movements.'

- Morihei Ueshiba (founder)
