Aikido is a modern martial-art that continuously develops natural, harmonious
reflexes to prevent or neutralise violence when it confronts or tempts us. The
name itself roughly translates to The Way of Harmonising Energy. Developed in
Japan by Morihei Ueshiba [Wiki] during the last century, the spirit of his
teaching evolves today through many who have been inspired by his skill and
philosophy. At Brighton Aikikai we are particularly influenced by Christian
Tissier [Wiki] – a prolific teacher of the art in Europe – and our club is lead
by Phil Rozier, 5th dan Aikikai. Why? From self-defence to self-development,
there are many reasons to study. But the Aikido is always the same; to work on
principles of movement, awareness and coordination through the study of various
connected martial forms. Aikido is not easy. Progression takes time and patience
even for those with natural ability. Yet it's fascinating, enjoyable, and
accessible to anyone. It also an opportunity to travel. We train at home and
abroad. Meeting new people in new places is all part of the experience.
Beginners are welcome! Our classes cater to all levels and your first class is
free.
