Way of Life Aiki Dojo offers a unique approach by blending aikido with karate. Aikido, a non-violent martial art, focuses on joining with any attack made against the practitioner, using the attacker's own energy to render them harmless. Aiki Karate, on the other hand, combines the principles of aikido with striking techniques, providing a unique and effective approach to self-defence.

There are several reasons to choose Way of Life Aiki Dojo. The classes are taught by a fully qualified and experienced primary school teacher, ensuring that the instructors are not only experts in martial arts but also skilled educators. The school also takes a holistic approach, incorporating meditation, stretching exercises, whole body coordination, and mind-body coordination. Additionally, Way of Life Aiki Dojo offers the opportunity to learn the unique art of “Aiki Karate,” which cannot be found elsewhere.

In classes at Way of Life Aiki Dojo, students engage in various activities. These include meditation for concentration, awareness, calmness, relaxation, and self-control. Stretching exercises promote flexibility and prevent injuries, while entire body coordination and mind-body coordination exercises focus on overall coordination. Aiki karate teaches students to effectively use and defend against punches, strikes, and kicks using the harmonising principles of aikido.

Aikido technique practise allows students to join with and neutralise an attacker's energy, while sparring situations provide the opportunity to apply techniques spontaneously in unpredictable situations. Lastly, games are incorporated for fun and further skill development.
