The Aikido Aikikai Association Sūkurys, founded by Pranas Golovač (1966–2017), is one of the oldest functioning Aikido organizations in Lithuania. During the 20 years of the Sūkurys, Aikido has trained hundreds of adults, teenagers and children, and is proud of over 40 black belt masters.

For more than 10 years, the instructors of the Sūkurys have been trained annually at the World Aikido Centre in Japan, called Hombu Dojo. For five years in a row, Sūkurys members have been invited to represent Lithuania at the All Japan Aikido Festival – the main Japanese and world Aikido event, featuring the most famous Japanese Aikido masters and guest representatives of invited countries.

Sūkurys begins this season in new spacious halls. One of them is situated in the Ogmios City, on the Leisure Terrace. Everyone is welcome to practice aikido here: children, women, men, seniors (admitted to groups of children from 6 years, adults from 14 years). The most suitable time and group for your training sessions are to be found in the training schedule.

Physical preparation and age for training aikido is not essential. The whole aikido technique is extremely versatile, allowing you to practice slowly or quickly, to work and to improve the various technical elements with great interest. Elderly people and those with no strong physical abilities can have a gradual and very happy aikido training that can last for many years. Meanwhile, those who are ready to train intensively, can work with another person at a faster pace. The most important task of training in the Sūkurys is not to emphasize the high sport achievements, but to develop the ability to work harmoniously and train with any partner.

Aikido workouts enhance your health and increase your self-confidence, Aikido movements adjust your posture, relieve tension, teach you to concentrate, correctly stretch and relax, respond naturally and calmly to any situation.
