Minnano aikidoklubb

Minnano aikidoklubb is a non-profit association in Vasastan, Stockholm, founded in 2021, offering aikido training for adults and young people from the age of 13. The club's name comes from the Japanese word for "everyone's", and its aim is to welcome all, regardless of background or prior experience. The association is affiliated with Svenska Aikidoförbundet and Riksidrottsförbundet.

Training takes place in a spacious and well-lit dojo at Döbelnsgatan 64, with access to changing rooms and showers. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 18.40 to 20.10. The club is led by experienced instructors, including Maria Ahlström (6 dan), who is responsible for training, as well as Henrik Jacobsson and Josef Pallas, both 5 dan.

The association also organises camps and runs an initiative through which Ukrainian refugees are offered the opportunity to train free of charge. Aikido is described as a martial art that combines physical and mental training, with a focus on meeting force without conflict rather than seeking confrontation.
