Aikido - 29/09/2011

On Wednesday 28th September the Explorers had a taster of Aikido as Mirfield Martial Arts Club visited the unit. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. This does not involve any kicking or punching unlike other martial arts.

 

Throughout the evening Explorers learnt basic self defence skills as well as learning how to defend themselves against knife attacks. A great evening was had by all and many thanks to the Mirfield Martial Arts Club.
