Herlev Aikido

Herlev Aikido is a local martial arts club based at Skinderskovhallen in Herlev, Denmark, offering Japanese Aikido practice and self-defense training for children and adults. The club teaches Tendoryu Aikido, a style that emphasizes harmony, balance, and movement rather than reliance on brute strength. Training welcomes newcomers, and no prior experience is required; prospective members can visit or join a session, with the first training offered free.

The club runs children’s classes for ages eight and above, combining Aikido techniques with games and elements of Japanese culture in a safe, enjoyable setting. Its activities are open to people of different ages and experience levels. The website provides information about training, instructors, membership fees, grading, Japanese terminology, and how to wear a hakama. Herlev Aikido also shares training photos, event updates, and news through its Seireikan dojo Facebook page. The club presents Aikido as a practice centered on harmony and reconciliation, reflecting the philosophy of its founder, Morihei Ueshiba.
