Opened in 1971 on Mayo Road, Kolkata Judo Club has been the home of the Aikido Academy of India for a while. It is affiliated to France’s Academie Autonome d’Aikido, and is a member of Kokusai Aikido Kenshukai Kobayashi Hirokazu Ryu Ha. They are known to bring in many internationally famous sensei who conduct examinations and workshops regularly throughout the year. Learning here is more of a community experience, students are incredibly passionate about the art form and practice with a lot of love and care.
The principal of Aikido is that one never uses force, it is a defensive martial art which uses the force of the opponent against them. This is a very good option for those who doubt their strength and are more interested in peaceful forms of self defence. The Aikido Academy also has classes in Jadavpur University under the guidance of Sensei Diptanil Ray. Do go by the campus and enquire to find out more about their classes.
