Katsu Jin Ken Aikido Ryu was formed in October 2004 by Mark Hayes-Watkins 3rd Dan and Nick Bailey 2nd Dan and has a sister club, Gowa Ryu run by Jim Dempster in Ashford.
Katsu Jin Ken is part of the British All Styles Aikido Association, Zen Eikoku Tomiki Aikido Renmei.
Our aim is to follow the ideas of Kenji Tomiki an 8th Dan Judo player and 9th Dan in Aikido. We also teach Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu as there is such a close connection. Which can be seen in the various Koryu Kata’s and self -defence applications of our syllabus.
At present we have a fairly diverse level of ability ranging from beginner to Dan level. All of the coaches are Nationally
Qualified to teach Aikido and hold public liability insurance.
