Aikido is a modern non-aggressive Japanese martial art, developed in the early 20th century by the late master Morihei Ueshiba, known as O Sensei.
Aikido training combines both hand techniques and weapons training.
It involves arm locks, wrist locks, take-downs, controlling techniques, and throws.
Beginners are taught how to accept and absorb the techniques so that they are not hurt.
It is about blending and re-direction of motion, not about strength — Aikido is a great martial art for women as well as men.
Aikido can also be practised at any age.
Children from the age of 14 and above are welcome into the adult training classes.
Aikido is not classed as a sport because it is non-competitive but although Aikido is non-aggressive, training is still very vigorous and active.
It is a method of learning how not to compete with aggressive action.
