Aikido in London

Posted by on Apr 24, 2011 in Training | 0 comments

There are a number of schools and systems for learning Aikido in London, Central London Shodokan trains under the Shodokan system created by Kenji Tomiki Sensei. Tomiki Sensei trained directly with Aikido’s founder Morihei Ueshiba and Judo’s founder Jigoro Kano.

The Shodokan system of learning Aikido is a combination of Jigoro Kano’s teaching methodology and Morihei Ueshiba’s comprehensive martial technique. We follow a structured syllabus like all martial art clubs.

Whats differs us from other groups is this teaching methodology, all Aikido is Aikido! Teaching and training systems vary. Some are practical, some traditional, some more developmental and others a combination of all of the above.

We hope you choose to visit us and experience our training, we are a friendly club, who train hard and enjoy life after work!
