Welcome to Shinko Aikido LEEDS!

Shinko Aikido LEEDS is an Aikido club formed in 2009 by 3 first rate students of Sensei Shane Riley 7th Dan, Head of the White Rose Aikikai. Located in Pudsey leeds we are also easily accessible to students from Dewsbury, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and thoughout west yorkshire and north yorkshire.

Shinko Aikido LEEDS is under the direction of Sensei Shane Riley 7th Dan and the White Rose Aikido association,together are part of the BAB (British Aikido Board).

Carrying forward Riley Sensei's style, Shinko Aikido club Leeds train a very 'true to life' form. Many Aikido associations around the world emphasise the long flowing movement, big sweeping circles etc..At Shinko Leeds 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.
