The Fudokai Aikido Dojo practices a traditional Ueshiba form of Aikido in Norwich, Norfolk, UK.
Our teaching is based around the premise that the techniques of Aikido are not an end in themselves but exist to teach and practice the principles underlying Aikido.
The Fudokai Aikido Dojo is a member of Shobu Aikido UK and thereby also a member of the British Aikido Board - the body recognised by the Sports Council for the administration of Aikido in the UK.
The Fudokai Aikido Dojo will be having a short break over the Christmas period.
The last class of 2009 will be on Monday 21st December and the first class of 2010 will be Monday 11th January.
Merry Christmas to one and all and a happy and prosperous New Year.
I had this link passed on to me by a fellow aikido instructor.
I already knew of the marathon monks, having read John Stevens book but it's interesting to see the video report on them.
Follow this link to see a brief documentary about the marathon monks on YouTube.

This means that there will no classes held on Monday 28th September and Monday 5th October 2009.
The next class following this will be on Monday 12th October.
