Glasgow Aikikai is an Aikido Class, which is affiliated to Azami-kai Aikido Organisation. We offer training in traditional Aikido, and are recognised by Aikikai Foundation Japan. We welcome beginners and teach all levels, from new members to more experienced practitioners.

Aikido is an amazing activity, which can offer many benefits.

On a physical level, the art is based on the principle of non resistance, and practitioners can gain increased flexibility, fitness, strength, endurance, and balance. Mental focus, mindfulness,calmness, and increased confidence can also be developed through regular training.

Our instructors have many years of experience, and beginners are always welcome.

While Aikido does have some applications for self defence, the main goal of training is self development and the study of a fascinating art which can give the practitioner a life long study. Feel free to come along to watch (or preferably) try a class!
