Fudoshin Aikido Caerphilly

A diagram explaining some of the Japanese footwork terms we use in Aikido. Hiraki Ashi (Opening Step) is the most relevant to our current practice - often referred to by Dave sensei (and Miyamoto Musashi!) as "The feet of yin and yang".

A helpful diagram from our friends at Aikido School Ando in the Netherlands, to help you learn some of the Japanese positional aspects of Aikido.

Huge congratulations to all our students who recently passed their gradings! You all trained hard and it really showed on the day! We are very proud of your progress and commitment to Aikido. Keep showing up, keep practising, and enjoy every step of your Aikido journey.

A big thank you as well to our instructors and fellow students who supported everyone during their training and on grading day itself. Your encouragement and guidance makes a real difference. Well done all! 👏👏👏
