The AIKI NO MICHI was founded in 1981 by Dr. KARNIK.

Dr. KARNIK was a long time jiu-jitsu practitioner when he was introduced in the art of Aikido by IWAMOTO Sensei in 1972 who was sent to Vienna at this time. In the late seventies Dr. KARNIK temporarily moved to Paris. There he studied Aikido under the guidance of NORO Sensei who named his style KI NO MICHI. After returning to Vienna, Dr. KARNIK founded the AIKI NO MICHI –Aikido club. AIKI NO MICHI is another reading of AIKIDO, which was used by O SENSEI UESHIBA before the war.

Until IWAMOTO Sensei returned to Japan in 1992 he was regularly invited to our Dojo for seminars and was responsible for the exams. He passed away shortly after returning.

We always travelled a lot to improve our Aikido and had contact with many Aikido Sensei. In the late nineties we met Christian TISSIER Sensei. In the following years the closer the contact became the more we appreciated his didactic skills and the benefit of studying according to his teaching system and declared us as his students. Through him and his students, particularly by Stéphane GOFFIN, we received a lot of support.
