White Oak Aikido Reading & Whitton
Welcome to the White Oak Aikido Reading & Whitton channel. White Oak Aikido offers training in the Japanese martial art of Aikido in Caversham Reading Berkshire and in Whitton Knighton Powys. Beginners aged 18+ are always welcome. Please visit our website at: www.whiteoak-aikido.co.uk to find out more.
On our channel, you’ll find videos of Haydn Foster Sensei, one of the great pioneers of Aikido in the UK in the 1950s. There are also two Iwama Aikido videos, showing Saito Sensei demonstrating the second bokken suburi and a technical point in Ikkyo. There are a few other videos we hope you’ll find interesting, including one from the early 1960s shot at The Hut Dojo, where Aikido started in the UK.
