Rhondda Ki Society supporting mental health wellbeing sessions at work.

Sensei Neil Davey from the Rhondda Ki Society has run his first mental health wellbeing session at work.
This was done by using 6 of our Aikido exercises designed to show how you can change your mind set & avoid being disturbed in situations simply by approaching this differently along with deep breathing practice.

The session was attended by 8 people. Sensei Davey has received very positive feedback from both the attendees and his human resources department, with some showing what they have learned to family and friends. He intends to continue this good work with regular sessions.

Aikido incorporates many exercises which promotes good mental and physical wellbeing, please message us or visit our website to learn more.

Aikido needs to be experienced to be understood. You are welcome to watch a practice or better still join us on the mat. We will show you how to safely roll out of the techniques which we teach. You may be surprised at your ability to apply very little effort to produce a very powerful outcome in a conflict relationship.

Of particular benefit in Aikido and in everyday life is an awareness of the role of the automatic response of the sympathetic nervous system to stressful situations and the potential negative implications for physical and mental health if this is allowed to be our normal behaviour. In Aikido we focus through breathing practices on the contra-response of the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress.
