Guest Instructor visits the club: Sensei Arthur Lockyear from Durham Aiki Do






Our thanks to Sensei Arthur Lockyear, 4th Dan, Shidoin from the British Aiki Kai, who was our guest Instructor on Sunday the 3rd June.

Sensei Arthur runs the British Aiki Kai, Aiki-do Club in Gilesgate in Durham. He was one of the first students of Chiba Sensei who brought Aiki-do to our shores in 1960. Sensei Arthur has been practising martial arts now for over 40 years. He brought some of his senior grades down to the club and kindly took the lesson. He went through a number of simple but effective techniques that will be a useful addition to our armoury, and demonstrated some weapons techniques and Kata.

Here are a few pics from this memorable day. I have uploaded the videos onto You Tube and they can be viewed in the side bar.
