Aikido is a Japanese modernized ju jitsu like judo with its particular roots stemming from the old daito ryu juijitsu style. It involves joint twisting, pressure points, throwing and controlling techniques and is known for its fluid and graceful but extremely powerful forms of self defense. Our  classes are very rounded and include kata (forms), randori (free style fighting) competitive practice and self defence training. Traditional Japanese weapons are also taught as players become more competent.
