AIKIDO ENIGHET STEFAN STENUDD chief instructor HÅKAN KARLSSON JONAS DAHLQVIST BJÖRN BENGTSSON ANDERS HEINONEN TOMAS OHLSSON EVERYBODY ELSE	Instructors at Enighet At Enighet Aikido we have since the beginning in 1991 had a number of instructors during various times and in different groups. The limited space allows us to mention but a few. Standard practice has been to have a fixed instructor for the beginners during at least first term. This is to allow for student and instructor to become well acquainted and to apply a sense of continuity to the training. Students are divided into two or three groups: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
