Aikido is a dynamic Japanese martial art focused on self-defence and self-development. Its techniques involve throwing or restraining an attacker using co-ordinated body movement. Aikido training develops body awareness, fitness and flexibility, timing and sensitivity, and physical and mental resilience. On a deeper level, the art is an exploration of personal interaction, the psychology of conflict, and traditional Japanese culture.

As we are currently on Level 3 on the government’s Framework for Restrictive Measures, we cannot conduct indoor group training.

Unfortunately, the club will not be in a position to admit new members until such time as we return to Level 2, when we hope to access our training facility again.
