Sheffield Aikido

Shodokan Aikido is a Japanese martial art with a competitive sport format and self defence applications. Developed by Kenji Tomiki (a student of both Judo-founder Jigoro Kano and Aikido-founder Morihei Ueshiba), it includes Aikido and distance Judo principles. The sport of Shodokan Aikido is thus similar to Judo, but includes striking and wrist locks, and excludes ground work and clothing grips.
