History :

The Shin Gi Tai Aikido Society, under the direction of its Principal  David Gwynne Jones was, until 1990, known as the Aikido Society of Wales. However, due to the growth of this organisation, involving the inclusion of a number of clubs outside the Principality of Wales, the decision was made to rename the organisation with the all encompassing title of Shin Gi Tai Aikido Society. Shin Gi Tai meaning:- Spirit, Technique and Body. The three being inseparable parts of the whole.

Membership Type : Full Member

Style :

The style practised by the SGTAS., incorporates Traditional Aikido with the modern concept of Ki training thus making the style relaxed, flowing and dynamic. Sensei Gwynne Jones has trained with and been influenced by: - Tohei, Chiba and Tamura Sensei.
