Pinner Aikido Club

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art, very different from disciplines such as Karate, Kick Boxing, Taekwondo, Hapkido, Kung Fu, Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai, Kempo and Krav Maga where there is emphasis on kicking, punching or wrestling. It contains elements of Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Ninjutsu and other budo. Don't expect to spend hours kicking bags or learning boring Kata's. Instead you will practice a variety of differing attacks and defences during a typical evenings training.

Because Aikido is a purely defensive Martial Art, it is the preferred choice for many professionals who experience problems with violence in the line of their work. The law is clear that you are able to defend yourselves from attack but only by using the minimum force necessary.
