At Lochaber Aikido Club
Our starting point is that Aikido is the study of performing with grace, compassion, and skill under pressure.
The last few years have taken their toll, and many of us have found ourselves under increasing pressure, often leading to problems such as physical pain and mental strain. Aikido teaches us to grow our capacity to tolerate — even thrive under — such pressure.
We train to develop a strong, calm mind and a relaxed, pliable body. Together these offer us freedom within the constraining pressures of life. The Ki Federation’s teaching method outlines specific principles to improve our aikido. Those principles are also applicable off the mat — in the workplace, or with family and friends — to give us new perspectives and possibilities for dealing with the equally challenging problems of daily life.
If you would like to find out more you are welcome to call or email Sensei James Knight. If you would like to come along to watch, you’re very welcome, but come a few minutes earlier so we can chat before the class begins.
