Introduction to Aikido

This is a 6-week introduction to Aikido starting 2nd and 3rd April. The 6-week course is being held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and students may go to one, or both, evenings each week.

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed in the 1920’s and consists of series of locks, throws and pins. The techniques require very little strength to perform, which makes the art suitable for anyone, and we provide a friendly and supportive training environment.

This course will introduce you to the first 3 Aikido techniques, some basic footwork, and a simple breakfall.

What to wear: Sweatpants and a tee-shirt, or any comfortable, loose, clean clothes.
