A note from the Instructor, Liam Robertson, Aikido 3rd Degree Black Belt (Sandan)

I have been training in martial arts since I was about 10 years old, starting with Shotokan Karate, but I’ve always had a curiosity about Aikido and its uniqueness in the martial arts world. Being a creative person, Aikido resonates to me with that sense of creativity the founder explained how each technique is new and evolving, true victory is self victory, and its core tenants being to train in a joyful manner. I’ve found Aikido to be a great martial art for enhancing one’s physical ability and peaceful nature, but more importantly to me, the sense of joy that good training brings. Please come join us!
