About Us

Its movements are graceful, flowing, effortless and powerful, and there is more to it than that...

There is great beauty in the way the movements of Aikido, even down to their smallest components, are an articulate expression of joy, gratitude and hope.

In fact if we look deeply, we can see that a whole philosophy of life is contained in its movements like a mass of coded messages.

It is this intimate connection between the actions and the thoughts behind them, that makes Aikido such a wonderful opportunity for life-enhancing practice.

To someone watching Aikido for the first time this might not be so obvious. They might simply see one person attacking another, and subsequently being thrown and subdued.

Aikido is a unique Martial Art devised to facilitate a Path of Abundant Peace.   Our values are respect, gratitude, honesty and generosity, and we offer adults of all ages and dispositions, the chance to learn, through practice, how to diffuse any type of violence. Aikido is about mobility, inner stability and the co-ordination of mind and body.   The potential of Aikido has to be experienced to be believed, and there is a rare opportunity to be taught by Denis Burke Sensei 7th Dan, who has over 30 years experience of Aikido. Sensei Burke, who also coaches Senior Executives and Elite Sportsmen, is a pupil of Maruyama Sensei in Japan, one of the last remaining pupils of the founder of Aikido's O Sensei. The seminar is open to students of all abilities from complete beginners to advanced aikido practitioners.
