‘Mugen no ki’ is a Japanese term that can be translated as “infinite tree” or “infinite forest”. In Aikido, it is used to describe the idea of infinite possibilities or constant development and change in practice. It can also serve as a metaphor for the infinite, ever-explorable path of aikido.
‘Aiki is not a fighting technique, not a technique to defeat the enemy. It is a way to bring the world back into harmony and to make all people into one family.’

Morihei Ueshiba

Ai   Love, harmony
Ki   Energy, power
Do  The path of life we are all on.

Aikido is a Japanese martial art based on the use of levers, throwing and stick techniques to defend against attacks. It was developed in the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba. The emphasis is on avoiding confrontation and turning the attacker’s attacks against themselves. Aikido is also known as the ‘way of the harmonious mind’.
Nubuyuki Watanabe Sensei is one of the last students of the founder of aikido, Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. He taught at the Honbu Dojo in Tokyo until he was 80 years old.

Aikido

Aikido is a martial art and therefore differs from martial arts. Ai-ki-do means ‘way to harmonise life energy’.

Yoga

Yoga is an integral technique that works on a physical, emotional and mental level. In Indian Sanskrit, yoga means ‘unification, oneness and harmony’.

Meditation

Some describe Aikido as meditation in motion. In zazen, we practise meditation in stillness.

The dojo is a place where traditional Japanese martial arts such as karate, judo or kendo are practised. It can be a building or a room within a building. The term ‘dojo’ comes from the Japanese and means ‘place of the way’. In a dojo, not only physical but also mental and spiritual skills are trained.

Training

We currently train once a week in our dojo in Neukölln. In addition to Aikido, we also incorporate elements of yoga and meditation into our training.

We practise a soft and cooperative Aikido. A lot of emphasis is placed on the breath and the flow of energy in the body.

We treat each other with respect and as equals, regardless of whether someone is new to the martial art of Aikito or has already achieved mastery. We are all in the dojo to learn and grow.

Pierre Dassi has been training Aikido for more than 20 years and holds the 4th Dan Aikikai Honbu Dojo. He has trained and refined his style in many places around the world. Pierre’s Aikido is strongly influenced by Zen, yoga and the steady flow of all life.

‘And there is a magic in every beginning…’, these words by Hermann Hesse best express what Aikido means to me: every encounter, every contact is unique, every movement, practised thousands of times, must be rediscovered again and again. For me, Aikido is devotion, engaging with each and every moment, being fully present and setting clear boundaries from this presence. I am. And I am always new. I am allowed to make mistakes and I am allowed to say goodbye to them again. On the mat, I find the space to try myself out and the courage to show myself in all my greatness and strength. Aikido is peace work, because peace always begins in my own heart, with the struggle with myself.

Practising Aikido means going with the flow of things. It brings me closer to myself and allows me to grow in my connection to the world. Training with Pierre is a joy every lesson. His precision and his experience as an aikidoka and teacher are a real gift.
