Shinko Aikido is a brand new Aikido club foundered by 3 first rate students of Sensei Shane Riley 7th Dan, Head of the White Rose Aikikai.We are honoured to have Sensei Riley's blessing to set up Shinko Aikido under the full direction of himself and the White Rose Aikido association. Together we will spread the 'white rose' style of Aikido throughout the West and North Yorkshire area's.Carrying forward Riley Sensei's style, Shinko Aikido club train a very 'true to life' form. Many Aikido associations around the world emphasise the long flowing movement, big sweeping circles etc..At Shinko we believe that BASICS are very important, however the reasons for learning this truely effective martial art should not be overshadowed by excessive philosaphy and deep lectures. Aikido is one of the most complex martial arts in the world to learn, however once you reach a basic understanding you will find it very interesting and more importantly FUN to learn.Shinko Aiki
