The Japanese Martial Art Aikido
Aikido is a martial art based on self-defence and grounded in purely peaceable principles. This marks it out from its counterparts in the world of ‘martial arts‘.
The Japanese characters for Aikido 合気道 mean:
合 Ai = harmony or love
気 Ki = energy
道 Do = the way, or life path
Taken together, Aikido means ‘the path of harmonization of energies’ or ‘the way of peace’.
What does it mean then, if you come to me?
Since 2002 I’ve been actively training in Aikido and currently hold a 3rd Dan (black belt). You’ll benefit from both my expertise as an Aikidoka and as a coach – a brilliant combination.
The Japanese martial art Aikido is a treasure chest of precious wisdom and principles that are enormously helpful and useful for all aspects and stages of life, in private or professional life.
Aikido teaches a wide variety of skills: self-confidence, respect, assertiveness, resilience, centring, dealing with other people, and so much more.
I apply this ‘Aikido effect’ in my individual coaching and group trainings. The philosophy and mindset of Aikido flows into everything I do in this context. What does that mean? Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with sport (in the conventional sense)! You often won’t even notice that Aikido is there in the background, accompanying the process. Fundamentally, it’s much more about your inner attitude and your mindset. And only if you so like, do I invite you to try out a small, simple exercise. An exercise that’s doable for every person. And you’ll be surprised by how effective it is!
