SELF DEFENCE 5 WEEK COURSE WEDNESDAYS 4 OCTOBER - 1 NOVEMBER, 5-7PM No. 66. Wear sportswear and trainers. Bring water.

Aikido is a Japanese martial art that uses an opponent’s strength and force against themselves.

It utilises locks, throws and pins. It also teaches how to defend against a knife, sword, and much more.

Any other information: For more info about Aikido, the club, or any other queries, our Facebook page "University of Sheffield Shodokan Aikido Club"

This course will give a solid introduction to the concepts of self-defence including: psychology, situational awareness, avoiding confrontation, defusing confrontation and the actual physical act of defending yourself. Over the five weeks you will learn basic blocking techniques, defences to common grabs and strangles, how to effectively strike your opponents as well as vulnerable points to attack when in trouble.

To supplement this, some basic combat anatomy will be discussed, enabling you to learn locks and pins to overpower people much stronger than yourself. This will culminate in a practical exam that will test and prove your knowledge.

Should you pass, you will be issued with an award certificate.
