Aikido (G2-8)
Aikido (合気道) is a Japanese martial art roughly translated as “the way of harmony”.
We teach yoshinkan aikido which is known as the “hard style” of aikido. The emphasis is on joint locks such as the wrist, elbow and shoulder to immobilize the attacker. Aikido students are also taught to “break-fall” in order to protect themselves when rolling or being thrown with concussive power. Lastly, discipline and focus is instilled mentally and this increases the natural tolerance for perseverance. Each week will focus on different teachings and techniques to promote and instill the principles above into the student.
Our style of aikido espouses the principle of effective conflict removal by taking the balance of the attacker and turning his force against him through core strength and focus, and is an effective tool for the learning of self-defense.
More information can be found on our website at www.aikidoshudokan.sg and a recent video is available at https://youtu.be/Dy0M4Zzw-bE where the team demonstrated our techniques in the June SEA Games 2015 opening.”
