Shihan Jones started Aikido during the summer of 1961. The West Wales Aikido Society was formed in 1982, and M.A.C. recognition soon followed. The society quickly developed and three years later the name changed to "The Aikido Society of Wales", which was then joined by the Plymouth School of Aikido Society. During the A.G.M. in December 1990 Shihan Jones formally named the Society Shin (spirit) Gi (technique) Tai (body) Aikido.
Shihan Jones studied under various Japanese Sensei's, although the main influences on his style were Tohei Sensei, Chiba Sensei and Tamura Sensei. The result is a melding of traditional Aikido with the modern concept of Ki training making the style relaxed, flowing, and dynamic. The society prides itself on its non-political, non-commercial approach to teaching friendliness and harmony on and off the Tatami (mat). The aim of the society is to make Aikido accessible to the public, so that it may help them in their daily lives. |
