Welcome

You’ve found our dedicated Centre for Aiki Practice.  Our haven of peace. 

We offer a range of one-day courses in:

Aiki Meditation

Aiki Exercise

Aikido

Aiki at Work

From Introductory Level to Advanced to Master Class, our Courses are open to Members and Non-Members alike, subject of course to suitability.  Our Courses are often attended by a mixture of local people and people who’ve come from further afield.

Children’s Classes   Children’s Aikido Classes are held at the Centre on Friday evenings from 5.40pm during term time.

Membership is available for those who wish also to participate in regular practice at Fyfield and who have an affinity with our values.  Respect, gratitude, honesty and generosity are at the heart of our practice, and inherently woven into the way we do things. 

For example:  “It’s our experience that a sincere ‘thank you’ benefits the person saying it much more profoundly than the person it is said to.  Conversely, failing to recognise real value has an equally profound effect.  So it is worth honestly, and often, weighing up the balance of benefit:- what was given against what was received.  In today’s troubled Britain, in which success is all too often measured by what you took rather than what you gave, its easy to slip into overvaluing what you give and undervaluing what you receive. Aiki Practice is valuable to us, not just for its own sake, or even just for the joy of sharing it with each other, but because it adds a dimension to the rest of our lives.   When we give our time to it, even to support others, the experience gained can far outweigh the investment.  Furthermore, however much we contribute, none of it would be possible without guidance to help us find the way; to help us learn how to practice.  So, if on balance it appears that we have little to acknowledge our teachers and companions for, it is likely that we failed to learn much of value from them in spite of what they had to offer.  Therefore, at the Centre, when we cross the threshold of our Practice Hall, we make a point of silently thanking those whose dedication made all this available to us.  This simple act helps us value and make the most of our opportunities, and it enables us eventually to understand the subtlety of Aiki.”

Applications for Membership are invited following attendance of any of our Introductory Courses. 

Worldwide Community   We are part of a worldwide network and one of its most senior teachers is our own.  So, tucked away and peaceful though it is, our Centre is at the heart of an Association with members and friends across the UK, Europe and the World, and, from time to time, we have the pleasure of offering our accommodation facilities to guests from afar.  To some, Fyfield is a much loved bastion of the finesse of Aiki, and well worth a long journey.
