Kyu Shin Kan Aikido

Kyu Shin Kan Aikido is a friendly and welcoming club based in Acton, West London. We hold weekly Aikido classes on Tuesday evenings at St Mary's Church Hall, Acton High Street. Everyone is welcome to come along and join in, regardless of fitness levels or previous experience.

Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art used for self-defence, which focuses on blending and redirecting over clashing and conflict. Instead of meeting force with force, we aim to use our attacker's energy and momentum against them. We seek to disable attacks and control aggressors through controls, pins and throws. Students can expect to gain physically and mentally - increased fitness, flexibility, co-ordination and balance are the most notable physical benefits, while an increase in self-motivation, confidence and discipline are the most notable mental benefits. All on top of learning a practical martial art!

Kyu Shin Kan Aikido was founded in September 2009 by Bradley Smith Sensei.
