INSTRUCTOR: Arthur Austin 5th Dan Aikido is a Martial Art that has a history that reaches back to 11th Century Japan. It is system of training that is attributed to a Samurai General by the name of Shinra Saburo Yoshimitsu. Having studied many forms of Ju-Jitsu, the general devised a system of self-defence without weapon, that would provide his officers with both physical fitness and spiritual well being. This system, which he named Daitoryu-Aiki-Ju-Jutsu, proved so successful and valuable that for centuries afterwards it was kept secret and handed down only through members of the powerful Minamoto family. Later it was handed down to the Takeda family of the Aizu clan. Dr. Sogaku Takeda taught the hereditary successor, Professor Morihei Uyeshiba in 1910 when the professor was 28 years of age. Aikido UK classes are headed by Adrian Tyndale who has studied martial arts since the late 60's and has trained in Japan with top instructors, and is internationally recognised by the Japan Aikido Association. Technically Adrian has attained the level of 5th Dan in Aikido and 1st Dan in Judo. He has also studied Karate, Wing Chun Kung Fu and trained with Steven Seagal. Events
