Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art for training body and mind through joint practice, and can be translated as “the way of unifying energies”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Aikido, an attack is not blocked but redirected through flowing and seemingly effortless movements, while remaining calm and centered. There are no competitions in Aikido, because it is about personal growth rather than winning or losing .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aikido training is for improving physical fitness, flexibility, and coordination as well as mental and emotional balance. It enhances self-defense skills and promotes conflict resolution abilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We practise Aikido in Ypenburg, a district of the city of The Hague. The Dutch word ypen<\/em> (iepen)<\/em> refers to elm trees, like the Japanese word keyaki<\/em>. Its Japanese character (\u6b05) depicts a tree (\u6728), a hand (\u624b) and two people working together (\u8207).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
