Aikido training is physically active, but does not require great physical strength. For this reason, people of all ages can practice together.

The first few months of training are spent learning basics - principles, movements, falls, core techniques and terminology.

As understanding of Aikido basics develops, this knowledge is used to expand and polish the student's repertoire of techniques.

Classes include empty hand techniques, weapons, and traditional kneeling forms. The emphasis is on correct movement, safe falling, and precise execution of technique.

As soon as you begin studying Aikido, you will start to improve your concentration, posture, balance, flexibility and movement. Continued study builds a calm and confident attitude towards life.

It is recommended that you attend class two or three times a week, and also set aside a few minutes each day to repeat basic movements at home.

Regular Aikido training brings benefits in the form of increased physical and mental well-being, plus improved self-confidence as we continue to challenge ourselves.
