Reading Zenshin Aikido Club

Reading, Berkshire ~ Sports
Friendly local aikido club teaching traditional Iwama Aikido

About us:

Aikido is a non-competitive martial art involving a wide range of techniques that can be used to throw or immobilise an opponent. It helps to develop a greater understanding of harmony, balance & the dynamics of movement. Aikido is suitable for both men & women, as the principles rely on correct execution of the technique rather than brute strength.

In addition to the empty hand techniques found in other styles of aikido, Iwama Aikido places equal emphasis on the use of aiki weapons - aiki bokken (wooden sword) & aiki jo (wooden staff) - which are used to develop body movement, strong posture & a better understanding of timing & positioning.

6 week beginner’s courses held throughout the year.
