Why learn with Sensei Firestone?
Sensei Richard Firestone has been teaching in Glasgow for over 10 years. He has taken many people of all shapes and sizes, ages and levels of fitness from complete beginner to black belt level and above.
His teaching is designed to skillfully teach beginners the fundamental movements and body mechanics of Aikido which give it its unique power which must be felt to be believed.
The syllabus also includes the teaching of "Ki": a Japanese term that translates roughly to "universal energy" or "life force" though on the Aikido mat this can translate to being completely relaxed and moving with the focus and power of the mind to create flowing and dynamic techniques.

Come along to one of the classes on Wednesday at 8:15pm (Kelvinhall Sports Centre, Gymnastics Hall) or Sunday night at 6:30pm (Kelvin Hall Sports Centre, Studio 2 ) and introduce yourself before the class or come in and watch the class quietly from the side.
