Aikido is a comprehensive and effective martial art which provides a basis for both physical and spiritual development. It is accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level, size, strength, age or gender, because it uses whole-body movement in techniques which are designed to diffuse an aggressor's attack rather than to inflict injuries. During our training, we emphasize on co-operation rather than competition. Students will learn to look after each other and themselves so that throws and locks can be practised safely. In this session, we will focus on basic principles and techniques to provide a great taste of the martial art. Don't worry if you've never tried before! Experienced practitioners will guide you through everything with a welcoming smile. You will not need to bring any items, however a water bottle may be useful. You should wear appropriate clothing: sensible sportswear and long sleeves are preferred (if you have a training Gi, you are welcome to wear it). Jewellery must be removed before taking part. We hope you to see you there, if you get lost, just look for the people in white!
