Awaken that storm
within
Regular
classes are held several times a week. The
emphasis is on basics and natural body movement, this leads to a good
posture and a sound self defence structure for the student, building
self awareness and self confidence.
The aerobic content of the classes help and improve fitness and
the general well being of the student.
Aikido ?
It is essentially non-violent,
encouraging harmony of the mind, body and spirit.
When practiced regularly it will assist in developing a fitter,
suppler and stronger body with improved flexibility, reflexes and
reactions.
Regular Courses are offered to keen students. These
reinforce particular aspects of training, by focusing in a specific
area. Depicted are elements of a recent weapons course.

regular listings of courses.
