The Welsh Aikido Society

Formed in 1988 under the direction of Malcolm Saunders, the Society has grown rapidly in an area already well served by other styles of Aikido. Teaching within the WAS seeks to build upon, and develop, principles of co-ordination of mind and body. The style is based essentially, upon principles of Ki development. Basic techniques, both hand to hand and with weapons, are taught within a traditional framework, but throughout, the teaching emphasizes the attainment of harmony between partners and movement with both co-ordination and relaxation.
