Aikido4Swindon

Aikido martial art, training at the Croft Sports Centre in Swindon on Tuesdays at 7.30-9

Aikido4Swindon practises Aikido with mind and body co-ordination, in a "Ki" style non-competitive, almost gentle way. Aikido means "way of harmony with the universe", and the attacker's energy is re-directed to bring it to a safe conclusion for both the attacker and defender. Lessons emphasise technique and focus, not physical strength or stamina. Safe practise is the number one priority, and we teach various safety aspects, including how to roll (not breakfall) safety.
