Welcome to THE RISING SUN SCHOOL OF Aikido
Teaching the Tomiki system to Men, Women, Children & Families, taking on Children from as early as 7 years of age and above.
The Tomiki system is a partner based sports system of
the original aikido style, teaching you how to use your
opponents body weight and stature to your advantage,
breaking their balance to move them to be whipped,
thrown or to emobilized them. Tomiki system is designed
to keep you active as well as fit while learning a
Martial Art, some Martial Arts or sports systems only
train one way or the other BUT the Tomiki system is
doing both, it combines techniques so the Uki & Tori
(Attacker & Defender) can keep moving, which means the
non stop techniques will continuously keep both partners
going & increases fitness as well as defensive
knowledge.
The Rising Sun School of Aikido not only teach the
Tomiki system but will also teach you the self-defence
applications of this sports form. The Tomiki system is
designed to introduce weapons @ various stages of level
of grade, break falls & rolling being a key part
in the Tomiki & Aikido styles due to preparing ones self
for "IF" required to save your body from harm if ever
thrown or pushed to the ground. It is a very fun way of
keeping fit while also learning a self-defence.
So don't be shy, why not give it a try ???? we're more
than just a club.... we're a family!
