WHAT IS AIKIDO
Aikido is a Japanese form of self-defence and martial art that uses locks, holds, throws, and the opponent’s own movements. The principles of Aikido are based on moving to avoid an attack and then restraining the assailant.

There are two main styles of Aikido taught in the UK but both are based on the founder Prof. MoriheiUyeshiba with Prof Kenji Tomiki, a student of Uyeshiba developing a more structured curriculum and introduced some different aspects of Aikido such as competition.
Uyeshiba Akido (Aikikai) is based on ancient traditional methods and relates to a nonaggressive approach with more philosophical and spiritual aspect.
Tomiki Aikido was developed by Prof Kenji Tomiki, a student of Uyeshiba, The style follows the same core principles of the martial art but also develops the practical application and includes a competitive/sporting element, similar to those seen in completive Judo
Tomiki Aikido was introduced into the UK and Europe in the 1960’s by Senta Yamada and his prime student was John Waite who became the first British black belt.
