Since beginning Aikido in April 2016, it benefits have been positively permeating every aspect of my life. Whether it be professionally or personally I am more inclined to respond to conflict with a peaceful and creative response and to go with the flow where before I might have been more resistant resulting in deepening aggravation. As a martial art, it is beautiful, graceful and also very effective; Strengthening and harmonising the mind, body and spirit.
Our friendly and supportive club has a fine array of advanced practitioners lead by our Sensei, Karesz. Karesz is enthusiastic about his art form and his very motivated to bring out the best in his students. His mantra is that we are there to have fun! And we do!
If you ever wondered what Aikido is about and how you could find out more about it - this is the place to be. The friendly atmosphere, the intensity of training and level of teaching is second to none. Highly recommended!
I've attended two other dojo's before, but this one is just the most fun.
I started Aikido in Germany in October 2014. In September 2015 I joined this club and since then, I enjoyed every lesson. It's a well-balanced group of beginners and advanced Aikidoka of all ages. The atmosphere is friendly and when I came in for the first time, I felt welcomed by everyone. Karesz-sensei (teacher), just like everyone else, is happy to help. I definitely recommend to anyone to be curious and come along!
I have joined the dojo as I wanted to start regular exercise but lacked motivation to consistently go to the gym on my own. I was quckly proven right to do so! Everybody gave me a warm welcome and continued to encourage and support me when I was loosing my will to keep going.
The workout is full of flow and every person can adjust their pace to own ability. In the beginning I was not super-fit and dreded exercise. Now I attend twice a week and look forward to classes!
On top of that, learning more and more about the philosophy of Aikido has subtly affected my attitude to life in a positive way!
Before deciding to commit to this dojo I was in the midst of exploring aikido and wing chun. I had tried out three other dojos. One other aikido dojo and the two others were wing chun. The aikido dojo was too competitive amongst the students which in short lead to a back injury. With the wing chun classes I realised it was not exactly what I was seeking. Plus one sifu had an attitude of expecting you to join, pay and come back and the other almost seemed like he was pretending to be someone he is not. This dojo made an impression on me, found myself even after the first class to be thinking of and processing, which I never experienced with the other three places. My mind was always blank, could not recall anything.
If it feels right, then the chances are, it is.
After 15+ years of Aikido practice in France within the FFAB (led by the late Tamura Sensei), I found a very energising dojo at the Aikikai Aikido London- Wimbledon: an open mindset as well as an excellent mix of classical curriculum (for the technics themselves) and pragmatic approach of any situation. It is a lot of fun for beginners and for more advanced practitioners.
Following Mimuro Sensei is also a great way to learn and provides a direct connection with the Hombu dojo (the Aikido's headquarter in Japan).
