Training
Training Days and Times:
Tuesday evening from: 7.30pm - 9.00 pm
Thursday evening from: 7.00pm - 9.00 pm.
All training members are required to wear traditional aikido, karate or judo uniform. Also, appropriate foot wear before stepping onto the tatami (practice area), such as sandels or kung fu shoes.
We have a very friendly atmosphere and all members training in the dojo are of mixed grades: 6th kyu up to Dan grade.
Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art developed by Master Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido.
It is essentially a non-violent martial art whereby force is never opposed by force. By means of circular movement, an attacker's force is diverted and turned back upon them. It could be said to be the most subtle and graceful of the martial arts. Since Aikido techniques do not rely on physical strength or aggressive spirit, it can be practised by people of all ages or size, by men and women.
Aikido helps promote health in many forms: it improves fitness, stamina suppleness, ones posture and feeling of well being.
