there are no short cuts to learning aikido.
kihon - the basics - are fundamental to progress.



kamae : stance



Kamae is your basic readiness stance and trained on both the right (migi-hanmi) and left (hidari-hanmi) sides. This posture is essential as all movement and then technique start with Kamae.



ukemi : falling



To prevent injury when you are receiving the technique ( being thrown) we train how to fall. Learning how to fall reduces your chance of injury and also enables you to get back to your feet very quickly.



kihon dosa : basic movement



To learn the fundamental body movements of aikido, we train the Kihon Dosa. The basic body movements are trained without a technique in the forefront of your mind. This is about building muscle memory of movement and developing Hiriki or "elbow power"



kihon waza : basic technique



This is the basic technique and how each technique should be learned or taught. It is the basics and should be practiced diligently. The angles, movements, the length of steps all matter with performing Kihon waza.

JIYu WAZA : FREE FLOWING



The objective with Jiyuwaza is to keep uke's ( your training partner) momentum going and to keep turning. When moving, it's important to move fast and to maintain your balance at all times.



GOSHIN JITSU : SELF DEFENCE



This is practice to show how various techniques can be applied in "real life" situation. The strict requirements of Kihon waza are relaxed to ensure your technique is effective in not so good circumstances.
