British Aikikai

British Aikikai is a traditional Aikido organization in the UK, affiliated with the Aikido World Headquarters and the Aikikai Foundation in Tokyo, Japan. It is a non-competitive martial art that uses circular movements to neutralize attacks with minimal effort. The organization is based on the principles of taking an opponent's balance and neutralizing their attack, whether armed or unarmed. British Aikikai has various dojos and instructors, including Chris Mooney, Davinder Bath, Ian Grubb, Paul Milburn, and Iain Cooper, who are all Shihans or Shidoin with different levels of expertise. They offer courses, events, and a newsletter called Musubi, and they also have a gallery and a section on Aikido terms and etiquette.
