Aikido in Ullenhall

General information

Created by Morehei Ueshiba – known throughout the aikido world as ‘O Sensei’ which means ‘great teacher’ - Aikido's guiding principle is harmonisation.

Aikido develops centred, flexible, dynamic movement (tai sabaki) in its practitioners which when combined with neutralization or projection techniques (waza), creates a powerful, almost effortless system to control aggressors.

Because harmonisation - not confrontation - is at the heart of aikido, it has a simple ethic: if attacked, offer a sincere, robust defence but without hurting your aggressor Although it does take time to become proficient, the training is enjoyable, challenging and rewarding. And people of all ages and abilities benefit in a variety of ways from embarking upon the aikido journey.
