Rising Sun Aikido Club.
Rising Sun Aikido is a traditional Ueshiba-style martial art and self-defence club based in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, England.
Aikido is a non-aggressive, non-competitive, Japanese martial art that focuses on neutralising the attackers force using body movement.
We are a fully inclusive club and have trained students with accessibility challenges, sight & hearing impaired and students with emotional and mental health challenges.
Aikido is ideal for students of all ages and fitness levels and we have trained students for 13 to 80 years of age.
All our instructors are fully insured with the British Aikido Board (national governing body) and hold a certified coaching certificate.
Aikido translates to
Ai – Harmony
Ki – Spirit or inner power
Do – journey or path
So Aikido is the journey of harmony and spirit.
