Aikido - Llantrisant Ki Society

Aikido classes in Pontypridd for all abilities & ages (from child to Grandparent) - helping to develop not only the body but also the mind.
This class is suspended for the foreseeable future, due to ill health

Aikido is a Japanese martial art which strives to create situations where attack cannot happen, or, if it is already happening, will cease quickly, hopefully without any harm coming to any person.
The fact that it’s also great fun and helps to improve or maintain physical fitness and suppleness is a welcome bonus.

We offer training for children, parents and grandparents alike, in a friendly atmosphere with mixed classes of age and ability. New starters and spectators are always welcome. All ranks or grades are registered and recognised internationally.

Training is of a co-operative, rather than antagonistic nature, teaching a regard for the safety of partners.
Beginners start by learning Ki principles and basic techniques of Aikido with mind and body unified. As the student’s ability improves the techniques become more demanding and energetic.

For higher grades, weapon training in Bokken (sword), Jo (staff) and Tanto (knife) are used to improve both precision and economy of movement.
