Aikido

Modern Aikido delivered by the SWKA, was taught to Head Coach Steve Lilley by 10th Dan Grandmaster Soke Brian Dossett. This form of Aikido is based around learning to use an opponent’s momentum and strikes against themselves. It’s a fluid art focusing on the principles of harmony, to help disable an opponent through the use of throws and joint locks.

It is based loosely on 6 key moves which are then modified to deal with different attacks. These initial 6 moves are them progressed into what gradually becomes a flowing art, and when performed with another Modern Aikido can become an impressive flowing movements of locks, throws and rolls from the participant.

Modern Aikido doesn’t involve throwing kicks and punches, but learning how to use these strikes and grabs against the assailant.
