Aikido is a subtle and sophisticated Art-form, a discipline of thought and movement, with a reputation for extraordinary results. Many regard it to be one of the most difficult among Martial Arts to penetrate or progress in. We don't. Good teaching methods give rapid results. We do however rejoice in the fact that one can continue progressing in Aikido throughout one's lifetime. There are no known limits, and no age at which one is "too old!" Our approach makes it accessible and enjoyable for all, young and old alike, at a very affordable cost.

Forms Being taught precise and correct formal Aikido movements is like being given an encyclopaedia; you may put it away once you've got it, but you can always go back to it later and look something up. In the meantime, learning them kicks off the process of Aikido training, gives the student something to get to grips with, and a sense of achievement. Our Forms contain all the core principles of Aikido and guarantee a solid grounding. Our teaching methods ensure that students learn them thoroughly, practically, and with enjoyment.

Syllabus Linked to attendance, our syllabus gives a clear path to progress at a rate that suits each student. Each level has clear learning objectives so that each student can learn exactly what he or she is working towards. Achievement brings confidence and confidence feeds achievement.

Based on 25 years of experience teaching Aikido, our system guarantees results.

Applications. Bringing clarity and simplicity to learning Aikido, its practical philosophy, and how to apply it powerfully in different environments, creates great opportunities and value.

Our qualified teachers also actively take the benefits of Aikido, in different forms, to schools, community projects, sports, people with disabilities, and companies.

"Our integrity is not threatened by movement but by the fear that prevents movement."
