about me

and what I stand for

I am Ferenc Németh. With decades on the martial arts path behind me, I don't simply teach techniques — I accompany my students as a practice guide.

I believe that the dynamics of Aikido, the inner silence of Qigong, and the spine-protecting Natural Movement Pattern Training (NMPT) are not self-serving forms, but tools that let us live the joy of movement again, without limits and without pain.

In Budapest and Albertirsa we're building a community where growth is founded on inward attention, biomechanical efficiency, and honest respect for our bodies.

The most important milestones of my practice

my journey so far

The Beginning

Karate Foundations

My journey started with Karate. Five years of hard work and foundation-building that taught me discipline, endurance, and humility toward the martial arts.

Turning Point

Meeting Aikido

I stumbled into Csaba Molnár's training by chance. The Aikikai style and the dynamism of Christian Tissier swept me away and gave my life a new direction.

Realization

The Nishio System

The missing link. I found the answer in Shoji Nishio sensei's videos: a perfect, logical unity of bare-handed and weapon techniques (sword, staff).

Building Community

The Start of Teaching

I started my own groups in Budapest and Albertirsa. My goal was not just to pass on technique, but to help my students find their own path.

Deepening

Integrating Qigong

The art of slowing down. Shi Heng Yi master's teachings opened up the true depths of Qigong for me: more conscious breathing, a more stable center, and inner silence.

Prevention

Focus on the Spine: NMPT

Recognizing the importance of spinal protection and prevention, I completed the instructor training in Natural Movement Pattern Training (NMPT), so I could offer an effective solution for the joint and posture problems caused by the modern sedentary lifestyle as well.

Present Day

A Holistic Approach

Today I teach within one unified system: Aikido, Qigong, weapon techniques, and NMPT-based mobility. The goal is harmony of body and soul — "Yurusu Budo" – the forgiving martial art.

The path we walk together

the elements of the method

Aikido

Harmony in motion, efficiency in technique. In the Nishio style, bare-handed and weapon techniques form an inseparable logical unity, where the goal is not destruction but genuine, non-violent control.

On the principle of softness (HU) →

Qigong

Cultivating inner silence and energy (Qi). Not just a standalone practice, but a school of slowing down and breathing that gives you a stable center (hara) and perfectly complements the martial art.

The connection between Aikido and Qigong (HU) →

Sword & Staff

Extensions of the body (Aiki Ken and Aiki Jo). Weapon practice throws every mistake into crystal-clear focus: it instantly reveals correct posture, and teaches you to perform the very same movement with a weapon as you do bare-handed.

Nunchaku

Focus, coordination, and continuous flow. A kind of moving meditation that demands total presence, and develops the connection between hand and hip movement in remarkable ways.

How nunchaku teaches proper body use (HU) →

Mobility & NMPT

Reprogramming correct movement patterns. Practice built on the principles of NMPT (Natural Movement Pattern Training) aims at spinal protection and pain-free movement, counteracting the harmful effects of the everyday sedentary lifestyle.

My Training Philosophy

Aikido is not just movement, it's a mindset. Here are the principles I build my classes on:

The essence is in the details

At the start of learning it's enough to focus on the big movements, but real progress begins when we start discovering the tiny, hidden subtleties.

Depth instead of surface

We'd rather study one technique in depth than many superficially. We take it apart, analyze it, then rebuild the movement.

Principled and effective

I insist on technical purity and non-violence, but it's important that the techniques hold up in reality too.

Safety and community

Physical and mental safety. There's no military strictness here — more the atmosphere of a shared research workshop, where we help each other.

Mistakes: a friend, not an enemy

Making mistakes is not a shame, it's a tool for learning. Dare to experiment! Every wrong movement brings you closer to the right one.

Training beyond the mat

The principles of conflict management and calm seep into everyday life. The goal is a more conscious, fuller life.

Vocation and passion

Teaching Aikido is a vocation for me, not a livelihood. That freedom guarantees that the value rests on knowledge and shared experience.

Thoughts from students and parents

testimonials

"This morning's practice was special for me; I experienced feelings I can hardly put into words — like the flow of energy I mentioned to you... I wasn't tensely focused on whether I was doing the movements exactly right — honestly, I have no idea whether I "worked," it was simply a pleasant experience: the calm atmosphere, shutting out the outside noise, the volume of the music... It's hard to find the words... but if I say my soul was filled with good feelings, I'm not exaggerating. Thank you, and I'm grateful. ❤🙏"

Tünde

Qigong practitioner

"For years I searched for a place where martial arts weren't about ego and competition. In Feri's classes I found exactly that: a relaxed yet disciplined atmosphere. I really like how he brings the bare-handed techniques and the weapon forms together into one logical system. Every single time I learn something new about my posture and focus, which helps enormously in everyday life with managing stress."

Gábor

Aikido practitioner

"I was struggling with constant back and lower-back pain from sitting at a desk all day when I found the TettTudat mobility classes. Feri explains the correct movement patterns with incredible patience, and I finally understood what I was doing wrong in everyday life. After just a few weeks of practice, my joints noticeably loosened up and the morning stiffness disappeared. And the atmosphere in class always lifts my mood — I found a truly welcoming community."

Have we practiced together?

I'd love to hear your feedback! It means a lot if you share your experience in a few sentences. It not only helps me on my own path, but also gives guidance to those who are still unsure whether to begin their journey of inward attention.
