Experience Aikido where it is actually practiced. Instead of joining a tourist-only workshop, you’ll train in a local dōjō in the heart of Kyoto, usually alongside a regular Aikido class.
With separate instruction in English or German, you’ll discover Yoshinkan Aikido through practical exercises and techniques while experiencing the atmosphere of Japanese Budō firsthand.
