Dorking Aikido and Kenjutsu Dojo
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art founded by MasterMorihei Ueshiba. It is a practice of self-defence, which aims to harmonise and transform an attack. We practice defence against grips, strikes and punches.
The Kenjutsu ( sword form) we practice is called Kashima No Tachi, which is an old Japanese tradition of swordmanship. We learn sword form with a partner and use wooden and bamboo sword for this.
Both Aikido and Kashima No Tachi are a training of body, mind and spirit and have many applications in everyday life.
Beginners are welcome and can join at any time of the year!
The Dojo was set up in March 1998 in Battersea (London) by Nicola Endicott. It moved to Dorking in 2007. Nicola has been studying Aikido since 1988 and is currently a 4th Dan.
