HYBRID AIKIDO

Hybrid Aikido came into existence on 11th of June, 2003. Its purpose is to promote and teach reality based self-defense concept & modern strategies in accordance with the principles of Aikido. With its highly refined & modified techniques individuals will learn how to prevent, avoid, escape or to fight back common attacks. The methods taught in Hybrid Aikido develops individuals point of view on life, as they learn about physics, philosophy, discipline and essentially the psychological aspect and awareness of human behaviour in self-defense.

There are as many approaches to self defense as there are reasons why people study it. Hybrid Aikido focused on two approaches. First is The Physical Approach which is based on effectiveness. It involves defensive and fight related techniques and overall physical skills development. Focus is to train the body to be able to defend oneself. Second is the Mental Approach which is based on personal safety, theories, concepts & strategies. This involves gaining an understanding of the dynamics of volatile situation, confrontation or an attack, this will allow you to assess and evaluate and select the most effective response tactics to gain control of the situation.

HYBRID AIKIDO MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING GROUP

We set out to establish an organization to work as a team to assist in our development as martial artists and instructors. To that end, we have drawn up clear requirements that set out the goals, operating procedures and leadership

Further more the Organization will be selective in the matter of whom it will allow membership. People of good character will be welcomed; members who abuse the privileges extended to them, or who bring Hybrid Aikido into disrepute will be excluded. Similarly, it is expected that all members will comply with the formalities and etiquette that characterize martial arts training.

With regard to grading, HA does not offer "quick grades" or specific grades within any particular time period. All people progress in their training at differing speed, and therefore an ongoing assessment will be used, whereby individuals will be invited to be examined at such time that the senior instructors of the HA are satisfied that they are likely to pass such examinations.
