New Beginners Course starting 19th March
We will be running a four-week introductory course at our club at the Deli Studios in the city. We will be covering some of the fundamentals of the art which should give you an overview of AIkido.
The course will start on 19th March and will cost £40. To get a meaningful understanding of the art it is worth committing to all four weeks and will run from 6pm-8pm every Tuesday.
There is no need to buy anything special. Just come along with some loose clothing. There will be other students around who can answer your questions on the day.
Use the contact us page if you are interested in coming along.
Breathing Exercise for Stress
The NHS has an article on their website describing a method to use breathing to manage stress.
Breathing is a key aspect of all of our training and is taught explicitly during Kokyuho and Misogi
In fact, Tohei Sensei suggested that it was the secret of Aikido.
