AIKIDO
practise can benefit everyone, male or female, young or old, of
any ethnic or national origin. All can enjoy and improve their health
and fitness by attending regular and well-run classes. The formal and
more spiritual aspect of Aikido appeals to some, the physical side to
others. Its full and natural body movement has aerobic benefits for
all. When practiced regularly it will assist in developing a fitter,
suppler and stronger body with improved flexibility, reflexes and
reactions.

AIKIDO FOR ALL
|
|
AIKIDO
is essentially non-violent, encourages harmony of Mind, Body &
Spirit and the avoidance of confrontation. Force is never opposed by
force. Resolving a conflict peacefully is better for all concerned and
students soon learn how to improve their self-awareness, and with the
techniques learnt, also grow in self-confidence. In this Aikido
teaches self-defence.
AIKIDO
is today’s fastest growing recreational activity with Japanese
origins that go back many centuries. Aikido as practised today
includes joint locking techniques and body movements from many of the
ancient fighting methods taught, used, and perfected by the Samurai in
feudal Japan.

AIKIDO
principles are based on exploiting the weaknesses of an opponent.
Joints, posture, the mind can all be vulnerable areas when attacked or
challenged. In essence Aikido is turning an opponents' power against
themselves by using the exact degree of control required to neutralise
their energy without inflicting undue harm.
