Budo to the Boardroom 

Aikido Symbols

The Budo to the Boardroom programme is a highly focused workshop aimed at building the skills and understanding of your corporate workforce.

Founded around the three principles of Aikido, as represented by the symbols of the triangle, circle, and square:

  • Go - Strength and Stability. 

  • Irmi – Entering, and

  • Ju – Connecting

This course will use embodied training methods to teach these fundamental principles to your employees at a deeper level of understanding than normal training can ever achieve.

Simple solo exercises partnered exercises, and exercises with the wooden sword from Aikido will prove a unique and exciting training experience your employees will never forget while embedding the learning goals your company need them to bring on board.
