Known as the "intellectual's martial art", aikido involves the application of biodynamics and anatomical knowledge for the purpose of offence or defence.
Aikido consists of using opponents’ own body weight and balance in conjunction with clutches, strikes, throws, and pins to control their body and movement.
Aikido's object is not to kill, or harm, but to control opponents’ bodies in such a way that they are temporarily incapacitated for action, incapable of resistance, and incapable of harming anyone around them, including themselves. Remarkably, when done correctly this can be achieved without inflicting any pain, or injury.
However, that is not to say that pain or injury cannot be inflicted. It is prudent to be mindful that Aikido is a Budo (a Martial Art) and although it is not the purpose or aim to harm others, it is a dangerous activity that can be incredibly brutal and even deadly in its application.
But as practitioners of Aikido, we subscribe to the philosophy of Aikido and Bushido, which, very briefly, is: to minimize one's ego; maximise one's honour and integrity; be ever vigilant of our surroundings (situational awareness); to be calm, but alert; relaxed, but ready; humble, but confident; and to love and respect all mankind, the universe and all that is contained therein.
Thus, one of the primary aims that we strive for is to be able to execute and apply Aikido without harming or injuring others, but while controlling our opponents body, as the situation requires. This can take many years to master and requires an advanced understanding of biodynamics and anatomical knowledge. It is through rigorous Aikido training that this amazing skill, Budo, philosophy, and enlightenment is realised.
We practice Iwama Shin Shin Aikido, which is the most authentic, traditional, and purest styles of aikido, both by lineage and style/form from the Founder, O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba and Saito Sensei.
It has been known to be the most physically toughest and a "hard" style of Aikido, as we generally grip "full-strength" when training.
If you are seeking REAL, authentic Aikido, then we encourage you to come and try this amazing martial art at its best and see if it is the right fit for you!
Our dojo philosophy is to share our enjoyment of Aikido with other club members, while being mindful and respectful that Aikido is a Martial Art / Budo. So we train hard and seriously, to learn, practice, drill, improve and develop our Aikido proficiency, yet also for fitness, and overall physical and mental health & well-being.
Come and improve your cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, and self-confidence through Aikido training!
While we train Iwama Shinshin style of aikido, we have an open-door policy to any and all aikido and/or martial arts practitioners. We welcome you to come and share your enjoyment of training aikido and/or martial arts with us.
