About this service

Aikido is a 'pure' Japanese martial art. It is a fairly modern art but its roots go back over a thousand years. The warrior tradition of Japan gave rise to many fighting systems and weapons, which has, ironically, given rise to a path of harmony and love enriched in aikido.

Study of aikido covers a number of areas, chiefly the body art, weapons training and meditation. The form of practice with a partner includes throws, locks, take-downs and counter and evasion techniques.

Practice is generally soft but can be varied and quite vigorous.
