Weekly Classes

 

Aikido is based on the flow of universal life energy call ki which permeates and surrounds all things. Aikido translates as way of harmonising ki or way of the harmonious spirit.


It is a peaceful, yet dynamic martial art which uses flowing, circular movements. These are used to redirect, transform and neutralise the energy of any attacking force in order to restore harmony and balance to any situation.


Aikido enables us to deal with any attack in a calm and centred way using the principle of non-resistance and is based on a spirit of non aggression and non competition. In its highest form, it goes beyond the physical aspects and connects us to the deeper, underlying movements of nature and the universe.


It can be practised as a form of exercise, martial art, sport, meditation or spiritual training. There are no competitions or contests.


Personal Development

Training develops and integrates this spiritual connection and unifies it with our mind and body creating a powerful state and rhythm that flows on to and benefits all areas of our lives.


Aikido can be used as a powerful tool for spiritual and personal development, health, fitness and meditation, making us more aware of opportunities and our inner power.


From training, you develop health, strength and suppleness. It teaches one to remain centred (calm and balanced), where you control your thoughts feelings and emotions in any situation, neutralising aggression with minimum effort.


You learn how to integrate all of one's powers, where the benefits of training overflow into all areas of your life leading to a more positive and joyful life, realising all of your goals.
