Yukikan Aikido Club

Sport Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art and Competitive Sport. Also known as Shodokan & Tomiki Aikido, we are part of the British Aikido Association who follow the teaching of Kenji Tomiki. He founded our system of Aikido by creating a way for his students to test their skills against each other using randori or ‘free practice' so that they could keep their techniques ‘real' and effective. There are now many varying styles of Aikido taught throughout the world, however, the basic principles remain the same.

Many Police forces and military organisations include Aikido in their training because of the effectiveness of its techniques. Aikido is ideal for the less physical to learn as a method of self-defence.
