Aikido Bad Sackingen

The dojo specializes in Aikido, a martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba in the early 20th century, combining techniques from traditional Japanese sword fighting and Jiu-Jitsu. Aikido focuses on non-violent self-defense, emphasizing the practice of techniques with a partner rather than fighting against opponents. It promotes healthy body tension, balance, and coordination, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and sizes. Training is primarily unarmed, but also includes techniques with a staff (Jo), wooden sword (Bokken), and knife (Tanto). Aikido is about mastering techniques rather than strength, allowing even lighter individuals to successfully execute throws and holds.
