Training with Wooden Sword

Work with wooden sword (bokken) is a part of Aikido, a Japanese martial art which does not have competitions and focus on using the movement of partner to bring him (of her) out of balance. A regular Aikido training has a lot of round elastic movements, solves unnecessary tensions in your body and train 100% muscles of the body. Training with a bokken is usually given separate training sessions.

We, Bernd and Aleksandra, have many years of training experience, including teaching in Germany and Russia. For us Aikido is much more then a training: it is superb for life, excellent for health, and indispensable in both challenging and joyful phases of life. It fosters self-confidence, cultivates strong friendships, and provides a new perspective for handling all kinds of situations. We invite everybody to share this experience with us.
