What is ……? 

Chi-Do

Established in 1995 by Tony Hardiman. Chi-Do is the culmination of 60 years of training in a multitude of different systems of Martial Arts and is a study of the integration of Chi energy, the geometry of movement, sports science, Fibonacci and calculus in the examination of the fundamentals of all movement.  The philosophy is one of Mercy from a Position of Strength. unique in the approach to physical and mental training necessary for the cultivation of a well rounded personality with physical prowess to the best of one's ability.  Fundamental to this state of being is the concept of 'Mercy".  Never confuse Meek with Weak.  Training is moderately hard with a lot of fun and camaraderie.

The syllabus is vast and includes virtually all that you will need to be able to practice any martial art anywhere in the world with dignity and ability.  The philosophy is important and meditations are taught.  Tai Chi Chuan and elements of Chin Na, Aikido, Karate and Iron Shirt for strength of mind and body. 

The senior instructors, Vicky 2nd Dan has been training in this art for 18 years, Paul Smith 2nd Dan for 20 years, James Norman 2nd Dan for over 10 years and the Master who has 60 years experience.

Classes are held each Sunday morning from 10.30 to 1pm.  The classes commence with a set of physical exercises designed to improve fitness, dexterity, ability to move correctly and to find the elusive 'Centre'.  Then we train in the movements of Chi-Do with partner work to practice the effectiveness.
