  • Aikido

    Aikido for Beginners with Isshinkai Aikido Club

    Try aikido – a martial art for everyone – together with Isshinkai Aikido Club. Aikido is a Japanese martial art that trains mobility, strength, and endurance – but also presence, balance, and harmony. It’s a non-competitive form of training, where the goal is to meet without conflict and use power without relying on physical strength. Whether you're small or tall, young or old, woman or man – everyone trains based on their own abilities, together on equal terms. No prior experience or personal equipment is required – just curiosity and the joy of movement! We train at Umeå Budoklubb’s facilities on Bankgatan 10. Instructor: Ulf Hjerppe.
