Aikido Gi Yu Jin - Bellahouston Dojo

General information

Aikido is a dynamic, exciting Japanese martial art that uses throws and holds based on techniques developed by Samurai warriors. Far from the cut throat world of feudal Japan though, Aikido is a peaceful form of self-defence that teaches you to blend with an attacker and use their momentum and weight against them so you can neutralise their attack without causing unnecessary damage. In fact, it's not uncommon to see our smallest women putting the biggest guys firmly into the mat with hardly any effort and without a second thought!
