Senshin Dojo is located close to the city centre of Glasgow. We provide a safe, supportive and creative training environment to study the Japanese martial art of aikido. The dynamic movements of aikido can be used for self protection and its principles can be used to develop confidence, relaxation, fitness and promote a positive mind. We principally follow the teaching and technical direction of Hiroshi Ikeda Shihan (7th Dan, Aikikai).
Ikeda Sensei emphasises learning and understanding Aikido with the body, specifically the concept of 'chushin' or how to maintain one’s own centre while breaking another’s balance. Moreover, we support Ikeda Sensei's desire to bring together teachers and students from different aikido organisations and backgrounds to share their skills, build friendships and support the future growth of aikido.
Dojo members train with a sense of purpose to develop the principles of 'Aiki' to resolve conflict rather than physical power or direct confrontation. The fundamentals of our aikido body movement are built on developing internal strength, as taught by John Burn Sensei (Ikeda Sensei’s most senior UK student). Learning internal strength develops a connected body which can be used to improve the martial efficacy of aikido techniques. We strive to polish and refine the martial aspects of aikido's techniques to allow them to remain effective but not destructive. Furthermore, we try to develop a stronger link between aikido's principles as demonstrated in the dojo with what we do in our daily lives.
If you are wondering if aikido is right for you, please take advantage of our ‘FREE CLASS OFFER’. You are welcome to drop by and watch a class or better still, step on the mat and give our aikido a try!
