Welcome to the website for Aikido Mukyokan Jersey, NOW BASED at Active OAKFIELD, St. Saviour, Jersey.

This is the online home of Aikido Mukyokan Jersey (affiliated to Aikido Mukyokan International and Mushinkan International (Malaysia)) offering people from the age of 14 years upwards, both able bodied and differently abled, the chance to learn AIKIDO, a traditional Japanese martial art as well as MUSHIN-DO.

AIKIDO, on a physical level, relies on using the attacker’s bodyweight and energy against themselves by using movement, both circular and linear, avoiding the attack, blending with it, thus moving the attacker before employing a series of locks, throw and pins to subdue that person without causing undue harm.

Internally, AIKIDO helps to maintain concentration, creates good posture and body mechanics, nourishes the mind and is a  good at fighting stress, by creating a healthy mind and body.
