10-week beginners' course starting Thursday 5th October - See our Facebook page for details.

In today’s society many people have a highly pressurised lifestyle which can cause tension, fear and worry. This can create physical ailments such as backache, headache, migraine and mental strain.

Through Ki-Aikido, we learn to have a calm mind and relaxed body, which gives us a practical method of dealing with many problems in daily life.

In Ki-Aikido there is no aggression, tension or competition. Classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and may be practised equally by men and women of any size, age or ability. The purpose of the practice is to learn to co-ordinate our mind and body through enjoyable exercise which will enhance the quality of our lives.
