Aikido Training

I have searched on this site for Aikido, with results.

Just put it in the search box and I am sure you will find something.

I haven't trained for about 8 years now.

But I recommend it to anyone of sound mind who wants to be good and feel good.

Let us know how, you get on.

I may even drag my fat behind out to train with you.

Respect.

the problem in qatar that in training you can barely touch you opponent just for not inflicting harm to him or something.
how can anyone practice aikido under such a law!!!
if you can get couple of pple together and find us a place, i may give some lessons here and their just to stay in the mood of aikido.

i just found a place called the karate academy.
i gave it a call and they have a philipino sensei. 5th dan.
it will cost 800 riyal/3 month.
i still have to check it personally just to find out if he's good or a just w woussss.

There is a dojo behind Jarir bookstore

do you practice the traditional hombu stlye?

Hello Asamarji

I got my Sanda (3dan) 2 yrs ago. My Sensei has got 5th Dan. I have a Martial Arts club in Azerbaijan recognized and supported by Aikikai Head Quarters.
I haven't even arrived in Doha yet, supposed to be there 1st of June.
I won't price you at all. All I would like to do is to organize free classes, provided that there is a group of interested people and a dojo available. All payments will only be for the dojo rentals.

I'm not rich, but self sufficient

Aikido will be perfect for you.

I used to train with a lady of 76 and although she was no Bruce Lee she definately had the ki that Aikido will give you.

It is also intelligent, you will experience things and do things you didn't know was possible.

If you want to learn self defence then I reccomend you suplement it with something more direct and simple.

I will be bringing my Gi with me so I might see you there.

It dun't really matter.

Judging by the responses here, I think you would find many people interested, myself included.

exactly,
and we can all pitch in in the rent.
i may even help in training or so.
for beginners

Please can you share the information (the address)of where they are training aikido for 800Qr per month,
thank you very much indeed

hello, can you tell me please where you found 350 bucks place. thank you very much indeed

Guys,
agree with Asamarji,
anyway, you can find it out by comparison, so as soon as we start, all participants will have a chance to go around and pick what is more suitable for them.

if anyone with the right contact to get that dojo for like 3 times a week that will be great!

Frank is the sensei teaching aikido in karate academy, he's amazing and he has some advanced student he's been teaching for a while now. call him and ask him for details 5877427.

hey guys, suggest we meet together for introduction and discuss the matter. I'm new in Doha, so somebody please propose a good place for such a meeting.

akido doesnt have gloves!

And a bit painfull when you get your fists twisted and for your back when your get thrown - not like in Judo at all.

trust me it couldnt get any rougher than this.
the very first thing they teach you in aikido like in day one is how to break a guys arm in 3 diff locations in less then 2 sec.
their is a reason y they dont have fights in aikido.
if 100% of the moves contains lethal blows or like serious serious damage.
if you enjoy being hit and hurt aikido is the best place cz ull be hited so hard you will propably pass out a bit."happened to me".
plus we dont follow this being hit and then hit back. we follow avoid the hit and then kill em

hey man
i tried calling you with no reply.

Asamarji, can you give me your mobile, or call me from your mobile, so I can call back. There was a call from a land line and I called back with no answer.

Ok guys,we have the following proposal:
Venue - Karate Academy - at Ramada
Days - Saturday, Monday & Wednesday from 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

The rental fee - 1200 QR per month,
so the more people come in, the less price will be for each of us.

I'm looking for maximum 10 students as the Dojo is small.

We also have an aditional day on Friday from 4 pm to 6 pm.

The price is still to be discussed.

I will come back on Monday for more details

Any other proposals are welcome.

siyavush thanks for the PM, count me in....i'll monitor this post from time to time

OK guys,

starting this Friday from 4pm to 6pm. We have 500 QR payment, so anybody coming will have to pay about 150 Qr per month or less, if more coming.

Asamarji, let's kick it off. Action creates reaction.

Anybody is welcome to come and see.

Also we have been promised some more time slots in nearest future, let's start from one training day per week and then we'll see.

My mobile is 5354838, the gym is called Karate Academy, which is located not far from Jarir Store in Ramada.

Dear Mr. Ninjutsu. I appreciate your wish to learn Martial Arts as in origin without a sport content and I do understand it, as I'm practicing Aikido, which does not have any competition. The reason for that is Aikido do not have any limits in application of any techniques, therefore it would be very dangerous to carry out an Aikido turnament, it would end up with somebody's serious injury or even death. The style I practice is strictly japanese and does not have a "soften" european influence, as our instructor's sensei lived in Turkey for 5 yrs and taught many turkish aikidoka and brought them up to level of 5th Dan. I would like to invite you to one of our classes and I'm confident, you'll like it. It is a variety of hand to hand and weapon techniques, not as much as ninjutsu of course, but all strictly practical. Jus follow our previous correspondence and you'll get all info related to the subject.
Good luck

We have already been practicing for 2 and half months on Fridays from 4 to 6 pm at the Karate Academy, which is behind Jarir Bookstore.
The payment is 100 QR per person per month. The more people are in, the less will the monthly payment be.

Hello Jithu. In Ramadan our classes are shortened to 1 hr, but for those who wish to continue self practice the gym is available for another hour. You can join us on your arrival, just call my mobile 5354838 and I will explain how to get to the gym.

I am looking to learn aikido it has always interested me, i trained hardcore in competition style tkd for 2 years, but haven't trained in about 4 years. got busy with school and life. and am looking for a more pratical artform to learn.

but i have tons of free time on my hands now, i am a house husband, and i am very serious about training. and sounds like your guys setup is one that is focused on developing skills, and teaching and not getting shelling out money and buying your way to black belt in a year ( I have seen that happen).

anyway who would I contact about joining, and what gear do i need to get setup, GI any padding

Hello there, I'm beginning new classes in morning time from 10:00 till 11:00, as I'm busy working in night time. The classes will be carried out on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Only for those seriously wishing to learn Aikido - no time wasters please. Those interested please write to me or call my mobile 5354838.

Those who are interested in Friday classes from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm please e'mail or call me.

We are starting the first session this Friday 14.03.08. Those interested may come and join us in Karate Academy.

Unfortunately I'm working nights, so not available evenings.

You can join us on Fridays, though, see the posting above.

The Karate Academy is not far away from Jarir Store. You can call the person who runs that dojo and he will guide you. His name is Farouq and his mobile is : 522 0806. His gone on vacation for a few days, so give it another week and then get in touch with him

Good luck.

Hi,

In Karate Academy, we practice a form of Combat Aikido, known as Tapondo, it was developed in the Philippines in the 70’s, The main difference to traditional aikido is that the striking attacks are a lot faster and have more intent (i.e. on target & not holding much back, especially during grading and at the higher belt levels,). In randori we practice more types of attacks, such as Boxing (attacker wearing gloves), Stick (Arnis stick), kicking & also using weapons such as knife. The techniques are applied in a similar, perhaps more direct then traditional aikido. It is somehow similar to the Shodokan Aikido. In Combat Aikido, there are elements of other martial arts (Arnis, jujitsu etc..) but the core stuff is Aikido, In addition, we don’t initiate the attack or attack back, just defend, we are not going to the full extent of MMA.

We practice every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9 to 10.30 pm, some of the player at the class have other martial arts background (Kickboxing, Aikikai Aikido, Arnis, BJJ, Shotokan Karate, Kyokushin kaikan Karate, Judo, and kalintaw).

Aikido is the way of harmony and there is no combat in there. Our style is more on the aggressive side, however, the atmosphere is friendly and every one is welcomed to join. You could come and observe for a couple of classes, perhaps join us for a class (it can be arranged without a charge).

This post was written in reply to some of the comments above, this is in no way a commercial ad, most of us were recommended to join by friends, and the teaching is never commercialized, we just love to practice, and any one who joins will feel the family sprit.

Kind regards,

Can somebody tell me what is the practice time now or after eid holiday, please?
Any number I could call? Tried 5354838 number without success.
My number 5715993.
I interest to join.

Hello , classes have started at the Jassim Bin Hammad School which is located not far from the TV R/A. Mon,Wed&Sat evenings 8-9:30 pm. The only fees would be testings fees, which would vary depending on test level. Uniforms would be needed and as of now, I'm not to sure where to buy locally.
