Our aikido training:

You may get acquainted with aikido (a modern Japanese martial art with traditional roots) in an easy going and relaxed environment, improve your stamina and develop conflict management techniques at our aikido training at central Budapest.

Effective implementation of aikido techniques neither require superior physical strength nor stamina, so anyone can train without regard to age and gender, although, of course, regular exercise can greatly improve both, and is part of a healthy lifestyle.

The organization and our lineage:

Kigarukai Aikido Klub is a member of Harmonia Budo SE, member of Sansuikai International, affiliated with the Aikikai Foundtion, Tokyo, Japan and under the supervision of Shihan Yoshimitsu Yamada. The dojo is supervised by János Molnár (4th dan Aikikai, 5th dan Aiakr), technical leader of HBSE. We train in the 14th district of Budapest, Zugló.
