Practice with me

Welcome!

I am Ferenc Németh. I believe that martial arts are not about fighting, but about inner peace and personal growth. By combining the dynamics of Aikido, the internal silence of Qigong, and the precision of Weapon Arts, I help my students find the balance between body and soul in Budapest and Albertirsa.

Here is how my journey led me here:

The Beginning

Karate Foundations

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

Turning Point

Meeting Aikido

By chance, I stumbled into an Aikido training. The Aikikai style and the dynamism of Christian Tissier captivated me and gave a new direction to my life.

Realization

The Nishio System

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

2009

Start of Teaching

I started my own groups in Budapest. My goal was not just to transmit technique, but to help 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: conscious breathing, a stable center, and inner silence.

Present Day

Holistic Approach

Today I teach a unified system: Aikido, Qigong, and Weapon Arts. The goal is the harmony of body and soul: Yurusu Budo – the forgiving martial art.

Aikido technique

Aikido

Harmony in motion, efficiency in technique.

  • Nishio style: Dynamic, cutting-like movements.
  • Non-violent: The goal is control, not destruction.
  • Modern approach: A blend of tradition and real efficiency.

After Karate, I found the answers in Shoji Nishio's system. It is a logical system where bare-handed and weapon techniques form an inseparable unity.

Qigong practice

Qigong

Cultivating internal silence and energy (Qi).

  • Body Awareness: The school of slowing down and breathing.
  • Health: Strengthens the immune system and relieves stress.
  • Grounding: Helps understand the importance of a stable center (hara).

Not a separate practice, but the completion of Aikido. The softness and stability learned in Qigong make the martial art whole.

Sword and Staff

Sword & Staff

Extensions of the body: Aiki Ken and Aiki Jo.

  • Precision: The weapon instantly reveals incorrect movement.
  • Unity: The same movement with a weapon as with bare hands.
  • Yurusu Budo: The tools of the "forgiving martial art".

Weapon practice clearly illuminates the correct path. It teaches focus and proper distance (Ma-ai).

Nunchaku

Nunchaku

Focus, coordination, and continuous flow.

  • Moving meditation: Demands total presence.
  • Coordination: Connects hand and hip movement.
  • Solo practice: Excellent training even without a partner.

It's not about flailing, but precise study. How does the chain stay taut? How does energy flow from the center?

Mobility

Mobility (TettTudat)

Investment in a pain-free life.

  • Freedom: The ability to move without restrictions.
  • Longevity: Preparing not just for training, but for old age.
  • Prevention: The best antidote to injuries.

Ask yourself: Will you be able to get down on the floor to play with your grandchildren at 60? That is what conscious mobility is about.

Beginner Group

International Seminars & Workshops

Available for invitations worldwide.

  • Vocation over Business: For me, teaching is a passion. This allows me to focus purely on the quality of practice and the growth of the community.
  • Integrated Curriculum: I offer specialized workshops combining Nishio-ryu Aikido, Shaolin Qigong, and Nunchaku flow.
  • Trial Opportunity: I am open to discussing first-time seminars based on travel expenses only, to build new international training relationships.

I am happy to share my experience in English or Hungarian, whether for a full weekend seminar or a focused intensive workshop.

My Philosophy

Aikido is not just movement, but a mindset. Here are the principles I build my trainings on:

Details matter

At first, big movements are enough, but real progress begins when we start discovering the tiny, hidden subtleties.

Depth over surface

We prefer learning one technique deeply rather than many superficially. We deconstruct, analyze, and rebuild the movement.

Principled & Effective

I insist on technical purity and non-violence, but it is important that techniques stand their ground in reality as well.

Safety & Community

Physical and mental safety. No military strictness here; rather, the atmosphere of a shared research workshop where we help each other.

Mistake is a friend

Making mistakes is not a shame, but a tool for learning. Dare to experiment! Every wrong move brings you closer to the right one.

Off the mat

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

Vocation & Passion

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