About the Business

Aikido Gakko Ueshiba (Aikido in the style of Ueshiba) is affiliated to the Bushin Aikikai Association and recognised by the British Aikido Board. The club was founded in 1981 and started out at a Welsh Primary school in Whitchurch. We later moved to Cogan Leisure Centre and in 1984 we joined the National Aikido Federation, which was founded by Mr Michael P Narey. The club relocated to Canton, Cardiff in 1996 where it would remain for only 2 years. During 1998 fate intervened when we were forced to relocate again due to the flooding of the dojo, during which all of the tatami (mats used for training) were destroyed. The club moved to Morganstown Village Hall, Cardiff soon afterwards. In 2011 we joined the Bushin Aikikai Association, founded by Mr Bernard Harding.

Sensei Bernard Harding first experienced Aikido in 1966. He had initially studied Kendo and Karate between the ages of 16-20, but was drawn back to Aikido in 1970 and has practiced it consistently ever since.
