A warm welcome to the website of the North Cotswolds Aikido club.

Aikido is one of the newest martial arts, which was popularised by Steven Seagal in films like Nico and Under Siege. It is based on 'Budo' the art of the Samurai and thus uses weapons as part of the training programme. The sword (Bokken) and Staff (Jo) are taught.

Ideal as a self defense, while getting fit and having fun.
