Here two statements (next will follow soon)
Ulli K., 6th Dan Aikikai Tokyo
Karin K., 3rd Dan Aikikai Tokyo
“Our essence of movement is revealed when we give our natural body intelligence adequate space.”
Ulli started Aikido training in 1987. In the eighties he was particularly influenced by Jean-Luc Subileau and in
the nineties by Seishiro Endo Shihan. During this time Ulli has developed his friendship with Jan Nevelius Shihan, who since then has always been a source of inspiration for
him.
He feels especially connected to his students. Some of them have trained with him for over a decade, are teachers themselves and run their own dojos.
"Good contact is created by the honest interest of both partners in practicing together."
Karin came to Aikido in 1995 while studying. Initially influenced by Katsuaki Asai Shihan, she made contact with other Aikidoka relatively early on and has been following the Swedish Aikikai since moving to Wiesbaden in 2005. Her greatest inspiration, in addition to the exchange in the dojo, is Jan Nevelius Shihan and his students.
About us
The dojo Aikido Frankfurt was founded in 1990 and does not belong to a fixed style. In fact this dojo rather unites Aikido styles of different movements and nations.
Through contact oriented and respectful practice, we explore the essence of Aikido together. We consciously focus on "this way" and "another way" instead of "right" or "wrong" and develop by
exchange and encounter.
Therefore we are influenced by different personalities such as Seishiro Endo Shihan, from Saku (Japan), Jan Nevelius Shihan, from Stockholm (Sweden) and Jean-Luc Subileau, from Niort (France),
who for decades have been supporting our dojo and teachers.
