Aikido
means "The way to union with the Ki of the universe". The
universe signifies nature itself. Ki-Aikido is the way to learn how to
become one with the universe through the Ki Principle of "Mind moves
body". To "become one with universe" means to understand the
universal mind.
Everybody has a mind and body. Mind and body are originally one. Our body
is visible therefore we can understand its existence easily. However, the
mind is invisible therefore we tend to forget about it. It is difficult to
know your own mind correctly. The mind moves body always. If your mind is
positive, your body is also positive.
Ki Development Classes
The fundamental purpose of Ki training is unification of mind and body. Ki
development classes teach us how to maintain unification of mind and body
in our daily lives. This means we will be able to perform to the best of
our ability in all circumstances.
Ki
exercises teach how to move and exercise the body without losing your
balance or mind and body unification. They also help developing correct
posture and how to maintain mind and body unification in a variety of
different postures.
Ki breathing is whole body breathing which not only promotes health but
mental calmness as well.
Ki
mediation strengthens the state of mind and body unity at a deep
subconscious level to fully integrate what you have learned in the other
methods.
Kiatsu
therapy is a method of directly or indirectly sending Ki to an injured or
weakened part of the body thereby rejuvenating the life force and enabling
the body to heal itself.
Misogi
purpose is to unify mind and body in the midst of chaos. The word misogi
comes from the Shinto religion and means "to go to the river and
cleanse oneself". This word is used in Aikido for certain breathing
and meditation exercises because they have a cleansing effect on the mind
and body.

is a form of unarmed combat for the purpose of self-defense, which is
achieved through intensive physical and mental training. It is a martial
art that has no equal in power or technique.
Tae Kwon-Do
training is beneficial for everybody. The student can train for self-defense,
promoting self confidence and physical skills. If dedicated enough, the
student can develop high technical standard to reach senior blackbelt
status and eventually become a master.
THE 5 TENETS OF TAE KWON-DO.
These values and ideals are the foundations from which students training in
Tae Kwon-Do will develop and attain:

Self-Defence
Classes Held at Templeton House Studio

Jitsu is a
martial art based on a moving system of striking, locking and throwing
techniques. With a strong emphasis on the use of an opponent's body weight
and movement, Jujitsu provides a highly effective means of countering
physical attacks from both armed and unarmed assailants, irrespective of
the defender's own strength, weight or gender.
Jujitsu is
an art of degrees. Students are taught to tailor their defence to the level
appropriate to the attack. There is no justification for hospitalising
someone just because they grabbed hold of your wrist. Jujitsu is connected
to its history. We still use Japanese names and terminology for our
techniques, and can trace our lineage back to Japan.
We are
never far from violence. Jujitsu provides a safe and controlled forum to
explore violence, without hurting each other. When you leave the dojo, you
leave the violence behind you. Practitioners of the martial arts don't
start fights.
Because Jiu
Jitsu does not rely on strength it can be practised by: Men and women and
people of any size Bookings or enquiries, please call 020 7074 6000or email

Wing Chun with Sifu Tam
|
|
|
Originally a
martial art created by a woman and which still uses the same principles
today. This effective self-defence system is particularly advantageous in
close-up situations as you borrow your opponent’s force to defeat
them, and do not need to rely on your own strength. As such this system is
exceptionally useful for both
sexes and for people of any age.
Wing Chun
is a very practical, logical and efficient system of self-defense. It
evolved out of the need for a system that was highly practical but did not
take a lifetime to learn.
Wing Chun
relies on sensitivity and the redirection of force when dealing with an
opponent, as opposed to meeting force with force, as is displayed in other
styles of martial arts, i.e. karate. This makes it suitable for all ages
and sexes.
The core concept of Wing Chun is that of economy of motion, i.e. the
shortest distance between two points is a straight line. And so attacks,
counter-attacks, parries, etc. will always take the most direct route.

According to
legend, Ng Mui studied the White Crane style before she ever invented
WingTjun. The name of course, comes from her first student, Yim Wing Tjun,
also a woman.
The story
goes that she taught her system to Yim Wing Tjun so that she could defend
herself against a local bully. As far as we know, WingTjun is the only kung
fu system developed by a woman and it is more than 250 years old! This
might also be the reason that Wing Tjun is concerned with the conservation
of energy, so you don't need to develop the kind of impressive, but
ultimately clumsy power of a bodybuilder, in order to overcome your
opponent.
In the
beginning, WingTjun was taught from Fatshan, a town in Southern China. Most
of the teachers there operated a closed-door policy, which led to much controversy
about the different WingTjun interpretations practised today.
The
different spellings are used to differentiate the teacher's different
interpretations of the same style. This is why you find WingTsun, Wing
Chun, Ving Tsun, Wing Tchun and our own WingTjun! (Actually, WingTjun is
phonetically closer to the Cantonese pronunciation for this system than any
of the other spellings.) But the real difference is that WingTsun and
WingTjun are the most logical and integrated systems of all.
Although
all are essentially the same style, incorporating the three forms, Siu Nim
Tau, Chum Kiu and Biu Tze, as well as the Wooden Dummy, the Eighth-Cutting
Knives (Butterfly knives or Double-Broadsword), and the Long Pole.
Sifu Tam's in-depth studies of traditional Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi,
Kickboxing, Taekwondo & grappling has served to improve his
understanding of Martial Arts in its entirety, and continues to assist him
in being the best Instructor he can be.
Capoeira
Self
Defence ~ Dance ~ Martial Arts ~ Acrobatics ~ Music
Capoeira
possesses a very unique style that brings together beauty and power,
developing mental balance, physical conditioning, self-defence, music and a
profound sense of art, all at once. Capoeira can be done by anyone of any
age or size. More than a martial art, Capoeira is also a social event
filled with tradition and history.
Self
Defence

WITH SENSEI TASSIE SINCLAIR
(4TH DAN)
|
|
|
Self
defense isn't about empowerment, personal gain, winning, revenge or
teaching
those who have hurt you a lesson. Those are the motivations of an attacker.
Self-defense is about effectively ending an attack, quickly and with
minimum
damage to yourself. If you have those other motivations, then you aren't
defending
yourself, you're fighting. And if you are fighting, you are just as guilty
of misconduct
as your so-called attacker, because you are both operating from the same
selfish motives.
