Aikido is a modern, dynamic, Japanese martial art
It is equally suitable for men and women - all physiques and levels of fitness.
Aikido is based on Ki - the harmony or balance of energy.
You learn how to neutralise the energy and strength of an attacker by first blending with the incoming attack then redirecting its force. You also learn moves to control and pin down an attacker.
All our instructors are Dan grades with many years of experience and are qualified British Aikido Board coaches.
Marple Aikido is a member of the Lancashire Aikikai.
NB From 14th June to 5th September Dan Bank will be closed overnight (7pm to 6am). This means a diversion through Romiley for anyone approaching from the Stockport direction. Please allow enough time.
No classes at Marple Monday 2nd August and Friday 6th August as the hall is not available. As usual, anyone who has paid by standing order can attend other clubs and we will reimburse the fee. There are classes at Chorlton on Monday, Altrincham (Trafford) Tuesday & Thursday and Bury Wednesday & Friday. Please consult the Lancashire Aikikai website for details.
Aikido is:
• Effective but not aggressive
• Powerful without relying on strength
• Accessible but always challenging
