The one who is flexible on the outside and strong on the inside will continually flourish; the one who is strong on the outside and weak on the inside will flourish momentarily; the one who is flexible on the outside and weak on the inside will lose what he has; the one who is strong on the outside and hard on the inside will inevitably be destroyed.
Our dojo is lead by Chris Mooney Shihan a world renowned teacher with over 40 years of experience in Aikido. He studied and travelled with the eminent T.K Chiba Sensei and has one of the only full time dojos in the UK.
The martial art tests and pushes the body in strength and stability. It drives the practioner to improve themselves physically whilst cultivating them mentally; it ingrains in them a sense of responsibility to their body and self as well as that of those around both inside and outside the dojo. Martial arts is to trust another with your health and safety and to have others trust you, it is about having respect for those around you, it is about humility. Aikido is a martial art which incoporates as a principle precept the idea of harmony.
