Ki Aikido

We are an indepedent Ki Aikido club, training according to the principles of SHIN SHIN TOITSU DO (unification of mind and body) and SHIN SHIN TOITSU AIKIDO (Aikido with mind and body unified) as taught by Sensei Koichi Tohei. The club was established over 40 years ago by Sensei Matt Tennant who is still the chief instructor, bringing his wide experience and understanding of Aikido to training. Our training emphasises the application of "mind-body co-ordinated" principles to daily life, to promote relaxation and confidence, as well as to Aikido techniques.

A spirit of mutual co-operation allows an environment in which each individual can continously improve and refine their techniques to ensure that they work practically. All members train to a high level. We have relatively few gradings, prefering to focus on improving our Aikido rather than concentrate on passing gradings.
