About KSMBDA Bristol

The Teachers

Peter and Christine run the club; both are BAB certfied coaches, both are trained first aiders and hold professional indemnity insurance.
We have been training since 1998 and have enjoyed aikido and the KSMBDA organisation in particular. So much so that when the founding teacher of KSMBDA Bristol left we agreed to take on the running of the club.

The Club

We train at the Esporta Sports Centre in Bristol which is behind the Parkway Railway station. Go to the maps page and click the Bristol link to see a map of where the dojo is.

Classes are on Wednesday 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm.
Beginners are welcome as is anyone who just wants to watch, but due to the nature of ki aikido it is best to get on the mat and have a go to get the feeling of what we do.

KSMBDA

Founded in 1982 by Wasyl Kolesnikov the KSMBDA or Kolesnikov School of Mind and Body with Dynamic Aikido aims to study mind and body coordination through the study of energy both static and in motion. The fighting roots of Aikido provide a useful framework for this study, but through our Ki Society connections we also study the use of energy for healing purposes using the techniques of Kiatsu pioneered by Senesi Tohei.
