Aikido in Rayners Lane
What is Aikido?
Japanese Art of Aikido is an extremely efficient self defence system utilising balance-taking and posture-breaking movements to achieve joint locks, pins and throws.
Aikido is very different from disciplines such as Kick Boxing, Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu or Mixed Martial Arts where there is emphasis on kicking, punching or wrestling.
By choosing Aikido don't expect to spend hours kicking bags or learning boring katas!
In essence Aikido is turning an opponents power against him.
Is Aikido for me?
Aikido techniques are based on movement, timing and balance. We use the continuous flow of a circle, the angles of a triangle, and the stability of a square to create technique that is not dependent on physical superiority.
Through partnered practice and the study of Aikido principles, we develop strength and flexibility. You do not need to have any martial arts experience, just a willingness to learn to protect yourself.
