MORE THAN 30 YEARS PRACTICING AND SPREADING TRADITIONAL AIKIDO
Aikido Cantabria is an organization approved by the Royal Federation of Judo and Associated Disciplines, and by the Higher Sports Council.
We practice Traditional Aikido, Iwama Ryu style, also known as Takemusu Aikido, which corresponds to the last years of Morihei Ueshiba's life and which has been transmitted to the present day by Saito Sensei (the student who remained with the Founder the longest) whose method seeks to preserve Aikido as if it were a real treasure.
Our teachers are qualified to grant aikido and self-defense grades officially recognized in Spain and regularly attend the updating courses. We are also members of the Takemusu Aikido Traditional Spain Association (ATATE),
We run several dojos (Martial Arts training centers) in Cantabria. We also organize official courses in the region with the presence of national and international teachers and participants.
Among our priorities is the dissemination and teaching of Aikido to children and young people, which makes the number of students grow and consolidate year after year, making our organization a benchmark for Aikido at the national level.
WE ADMIT STUDENTS ALL YEAR ROUND!
Children's Aikido is the adaptation of Aikido to children
and its physical, psychological and educational reality. It is taught by collegiate teachers who have been trained in teaching children's Martial Arts, and have proven experience in this field.
The children's program has been designed and developed by experts in teaching children and physical educators from the Federation so that it is adapted to the needs of growth and physical development and their cognitive capacity depending on the age of the students.
We also offer you Training in Self Defense and its different specialties, taught by teachers certified by the Federation, within an approved organization.
2) Self defense for women: Pursues two objectives. On the one hand, prevention and support in situations of gender violence, both to avoid it preventively, and to deal with it when it is already occurring. The second objective is to teach women simple and practical physical skills and resources, so that they can carry out effective self-defense and improve their self-esteem and self-confidence.
What does Personal Defense offer you?
• The benefits of moderate/intense physical activity.
• Knowledge of what to do and how to do it in a conflict situation.
• A technical and mental development that trains and reinforces decision-making and allows both anticipating and evaluating and facing situations that may affect one's own or another's physical integrity.
• A correct application of the techniques, bearing in mind at all times the principles of opportunity, proportionality, congruence and least possible harmfulness that the legal system includes.
• The use of simple, useful and practical skills and physical resources for an effective and rapid defense.
• The improvement of self-esteem and personal image, which are notably reinforced by having resources to be able to preserve our physical integrity or that of third parties.
What does Aikido Cantabria offer you?
• Training in Self-Defense and its specialties, where appropriate, within an approved club, taught by qualified teachers and members of the Spanish Federation (Higher Sports Council). The education received and the grades obtained, therefore, are officially recognized.
• Classes take place in a pleasant environment, with simulation of defense situations where the techniques learned can be developed.
• The sessions are open, taking into account the doubts, concerns and situations proposed by the students for their study and integration in the classes, in addition to what corresponds to the official degree program.
