efforts and donations have gone….well done to all..!

Carl sensei hits Rome

Bruno Ballardini Sensei who has a

wonderful group of students who are

dedicated and enthusiastic.

Sensei had a wonderful time teaching

treated to a late dinner with Sensei

Women only Aikido Classes coming soon

We will be offering class for any ladies that wish to learn Aikido must be over

It is anticipated that these classes will begin approximately mid-August.

Classes will be specifically tailored limited

Shodai Aikido is a unique and original style of aikido

The aikido was brought to the shores of the UK by the first generation of instructors

Kinshiro Abbe sensei in the 1950’s, and taught to my instructor and then came Noro &

Nakazona sensei’s.

Aikido and the techniques have altered over the decades and depending on if the

instructor was taught at the hombu or Iwama also varied.

Today we see many differing styles of aikido from Tomiki to Kai aikido.

I have been asked countless times what style of aikido I do, to which I have replied “I just

do aikido”!

In more recent times I have stated to the same question 1st Generation Aikido, from the

first generation of instructors that come out of Japan in the 1950’s and early 60’s. It seems

in this modern day that more and more people need labels to hang on things. So I have

decided to label the aikido I have been taught, and teach as “Shodai Aikido” meaning first

generation aikido!
