Aikido-Schule

Aikido-Schule K. Asai in Düsseldorf teaches traditional Aikido as both a martial art and a path of personal development. Rooted in the philosophy of harmony (ai), energy (ki), and the way (do), training emphasizes circular and spiral movements that redirect an opponent’s force rather than opposing it directly. Students learn throws, joint locks, and breathing techniques that combine physical skill with concentration and willpower. Unlike competitive martial arts, Aikido focuses on self-defense, discipline, and cultivating inner balance, drawing on the legacy of founder Morihei Ueshiba and the traditions of Japanese budo. The dojo provides a supportive environment where practitioners of all levels can strengthen body and mind while developing respect, focus, and resilience.
