Welcome To Aikido Gakko Ueshiba!

We are an Aikido Martial Arts club situated in Cardiff, South Wales and we practice and teach traditional Aikido. The club was founded over 25 years ago by Bernard Harding Sensei       [6th Dan, National Coach and Technical Advisor to the N.A.F. (National Aikido Federation)]. As part of the N.A.F. we are recognised by the British Aikido Board (Aikido’s governing body in the U.K.).

Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art, derived from the principles of the samurai. Aikido is not concerned with using physical strength to defeat an opponent and it is suitable for all types of people. Men and women, young or old, can practice and enjoy aikido; levels of physical fitness are not that important. The atmosphere at our club is friendly and cooperative; if you are interested in practising aikido, then please come along to one of our training sessions and find out more!
