Aikido Academy UK is an association based in the central and northern areas of Birmingham

The techniques of Aikido have their origins in the movements of Kenjutsu (Japanese sword arts) and the joint locks and throws of Jiu Jitsu.

The are no competitions in Aikido. Students take turns initiating (Uke) and defending (Nage/Tori). Each student learns both sides of the technique.

In addition to an activity that will develop core strength, balance and self confidence, Aikido also teaches it’s practitioners a practical self defence that seeks resolution to conflict without resorting to violence.
