Welcome to Clare Aikikai ...
Clare Aikikai offers beginners to advanced Aikido classes for adults and children in Liscannor, County Clare, Ireland.
Aikido is a natural movement martial art that co-ordinates the mind and body for health, defense and self-development. Aikido also educates and develops character, and fosters a positive attitude and spirit of peace through training in physical and mental self-discipline.
Clare Aikikai Aikido classes are offered each Tuesday and Thursday evenings by nidan (second degree black belt) Aikido instructor Martin Doyle (above left). Martin also offers free Zen meditation sessions prior to the Tuesday evening Aikido class.
A gifted flute maker and musician, Martin Doyle has been practicing Aikido with the Irish Aikido Federation since 1987. You will find contact details for Martin Doyle here: Contact
All Aikido classes and Zen meditation sessions are held at the Community Hall, Main Street, Liscannor, County Clare. More details here: Dojo Liscannor.
Beginners may start at any time — so why not now?
The Spirit of Aikido
"Everyone has a spirit that can be defined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter." — Morihei Ueshiba.
Morihei Ueshiba is the founder of the Japanese martial art of Aikido. He is often referred to as Kaiso, meaning 'founder', or O'sensei, meaning 'Grand Master'. Find out more here: Morihei Ueshiba.
