Aikido Union England

Welcome! The Aikido Union is dedicated to the advancement of the study of Budo, of which Aikido is it's major part. We hope you enjoy the site and leave with greater knowledge.

The Aikido Union is honoured to have official support and endorsement from the Japanese Government for the president of the Aikido Union England, Pat Stratford. He received a commendation from the Japanese Government for his spiritual and cultural teachings through the practice of Aikido. He has also received 8th Dan Aikido from the Amateur Martial Association (A.M.A.). He is known to the Aikido Union England and his Japanese friends as Master Pat Stratford. You can read about the official ceremony which took place at the Japanese Embassy in London in the events section.
