The world of Aikido
Aikido is een Japanse zelfverdedigingssport én traditionele krijgskunst die je mentaal en fysiek weerbaarder maakt.
Ando leert je de kracht van een aanval om te buigen. Duik met ons mee in de wereld van Aikido.
That Aikido is a martial art 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. Een waarbij je kunt zweten, bewegen en in balans kan komen. Wat je op de mat leert, neem je mee daarbuiten. Kalm blijven onder druk, rust en dicht bij jezelf blijven.
Ervaren wat het met jou doet? Stap dan mee de mat op.

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!

Philosophy
The philosophy behind this traditional martial art is beautifully articulated by the founder himself:
“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)
