Martial-Arts for Beginners in Harrow
What is Aikido?
Aikido is a non-aggressive Japanese self-defence system and martial art utilising 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?
Regardless of your size, body type and current level of physical ability or disability. If you are looking for a healthier, more confident way of life, then the modern art of Aikido may well be for you.
Many real life attacks begin with a grab, either to pull you off balance or to move you away. Aikido students learn to defend against many different grabs, usually starting with the wrists and progressing to being gripped by both hands and then on to punches.
A Group of experienced martial-arts instructors at Pinner Aikido Club London can help you achieve:
- Self-defence skills
- Self-esteem and confidence
- Better posture and body language
- Flexibility and fitness
Club and Martial-Art Training
Pinner Aikido Club London runs a mixed martial art class with separate changing facilities. The classes are quite social affairs and training partners are encouraged to help each other with fair practice and advice.
