Takemusu Aikido Korntal

The dojo is a non-profit organization that practices Dentou Iwama Ryu Aikido. Aikido is a self-defense art that does not involve competition, but rather trains to defend against pre-determined attack situations. The energy of the attacker is absorbed and redirected back to themselves. The techniques involve throws and leverages to neutralize striking and grabbing attacks. The dojo's Aikido style is characterized by the use of staff and sword as an integral part of the training. The instructors, led by Volker Hochwald Sensei, have a direct link to the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, and his successor, Saito Hitohira Sensei, who still lives in Iwama, Japan. The dojo offers various training programs for different age groups, including Aikido Minis, Aikido Kinder, Jugendtraining, and Erwachsenentraining, as well as Waffentraining for adults. The dojo also hosts seminars and workshops led by Volker Hochwald Shihan and other experienced instructors.
