Shudokan Aikido is based on the Yoshinkan style of Aikido as taught to the Tokyo Special Riot Police. Yoshinkan Aikido was founded by Shioda Kancho who was a principle student of Ueshiba O Sensei, the founder of Aikido. As an effective form of self defence, Aikido is taught to police and military worldwide.

We hope you decide to join us and find out why the Shudokan Black Belt Academy is one of the leading Aikido and martial arts schools in the UK today.
