AIKIDO Verein KYUSHINDO in Hannover e.V.

Kyushindo is a dojo that teaches Aikido, a defensive martial art characterized by soft and flowing movements. According to its principle, the force of the attack is returned to its source, the attacker, through the defense. Aikido is a physical way (DO) aimed at achieving harmony (AI) with the spiritual energy (KI), which is formed through joint training with mutual respect. The dojo was founded in Japan by Morihei Ueshiba in the early 20th century, drawing from classical martial arts such as weaponless forms, sword techniques, and staff techniques. Ueshiba's life experiences led him to realize that it's not necessary to destroy an opponent to be victorious, but rather to offer them the opportunity for change.
