Why Aikido?
Aikido is a non-competitive Martial Art based on the principles of relaxation and connection. These principles are applied to neutralize an attack without destroying the attacker. It is often surprising – the experience that relaxation and moving with the other’s energy is more effective than muscular force and aggression! This is why one can practise Aikido deep into old age.
The principles of Aikido can also be applied in daily life and work, especially to control tension and stress. Moreover, Aikido is a good way of keeping your body in good shape – it improves your health, flexibility and fitness. Therefore Aikido is good for women and men of all ages, young and old.
The Aikido Stichting Arnhem Jiki Shin Kan (ASA) is a member of the Aikido Federation of the Netherlands which is inspired by Terry Ezra Shihan (7th dan, UK). ASA’s chief instructor is Pieter Lagerwaard Shihan (6th dan). He has over 40 years of experience in Aikido and belongs to the national-level aikido top. Our other instructors range from 1st to 4th dan and are all nationally licensed teachers.
