Akisophie seminars develop social responsibility, emotional intelligence and visual power. They regenerate mental and physical condition. The classes introduce the spirit of Aikido, to “win” without fighting, based on philosophical reflections on everyday life and ethics.

The movements effect body-mind-experiences, which give positive impact on school and work life. On the other side the results of reflection could be demonstrated within the movements. These experiences liberate people from linear-causal reacting and thinking. The training of Aikido cultivates a common sense, which serves to direct us in the common affairs of life, where our reasoning would leave us in the dark. (Thomas Reid)

The critical mind is too thin and cold, thinking itself will help little and reason will be of small avail; only the spirit of reasonableness, a sort of warm and glowing, emotional and intuitive thinking, joined with compassion, will insure us against a reversion to our ancestral type.
Only the development of our life to bring it into harmony with our instincts can save us. I consider the education of our senses and our emotions more important than the education of our ideas. (Lin Yutang, “The importance of living”, NY, 1937)
