Aikijutsu, taught in a way you might not expect
A relaxed, beginner‑only 4‑week course for adults in their late teens and twenties. If you’re curious but nervous, this is the gentlest way to begin.
What This Course Is
The Foundations Course is a calm, beginner‑only introduction to Aikijutsu. It’s designed to give you a clear, structured way to explore martial arts — without intensity, pressure, or confusion.
Across four weeks, you’ll learn simple movements that help you understand how Aikijutsu works, how to stay balanced, and how to move with another person in a relaxed, cooperative way.
You don’t need experience, fitness, or confidence to begin. Most people who join this course have never trained before.
Who this course is for
If you spend most of your day sitting — thinking, coding, designing, solving — you already know your body needs to move. But how?
You’re not into the gym. Team sports don’t appeal. And martial arts? That’s never really felt like your thing.
This course is for adults in their late teens to 30s who want to explore movement in a way that feels calm, clear, and intelligent — without sparring, shouting, or pressure.
It’s designed for people who:
- Are curious about martial arts but don’t want sparring, shouting, or competitiveness
- Prefer learning in a calm, structured, step-by-step way
- Feel more comfortable starting in a small, beginner-only group
- Want to understand how Aikijutsu actually works before joining regular classes
- Value clarity, calmness, and a supportive space to explore how their body moves
You don’t need to be fit, flexible, or confident. You don’t need to have done anything like this before.
You just need to be open to learning something new — at your own pace.

What you'll learn in the Foundations course
This course focuses on principles, not memorising techniques.
Each week builds on the last, giving you a clear understanding of how Aikijutsu works — and how to move with clarity and confidence from day one.
You’ll learn how to:
- stay balanced and centred under pressure
- move with clarity instead of tension
- understand connection, timing, and distance
- apply the principles that make techniques work (without needing strength)
Everything is taught in a structured, step‑by‑step way, so you always know why you’re learning something and how it fits into the bigger picture.
By the end of the 4 weeks, you’ll have a solid foundation — not just in movement, but in understanding the logic behind Aikijutsu.

What Your First Session Will Be Like
Your first session is designed to feel calm, clear, and welcoming. You’ll meet your instructor, get familiar with the space, and ease into the core principles we use throughout the course.
We start with simple, cooperative movements that help you understand balance, connection, and how to stay relaxed under pressure — without needing strength, fitness, or experience.
Everything is shown slowly, with clear explanations and plenty of time to ask questions. There’s no intensity, no expectations, and no pressure to perform.
It’s a gentle, well‑structured introduction that sets you up confidently for the rest of the 4‑week course.

How the 4 week course progresses
Each week introduces core Aiki principles, and you explore it through simple, calm movements.
Everything is taught slowly, with plenty of time to repeat, revise, and understand how each idea fits into the bigger picture.
Week 1: Learn the first core principle through clear, balanced movement
Week 2: Explore how structure and posture shape how you move
Week 3: Work with a partner to understand connection and timing
Week 4: Bring the principles together in simple, guided practice
By the end of the 4 weeks, you’ll have a solid feel for how Aikijutsu works — not through memorising techniques, but by understanding the principles underneath them.
