Grading Techniques

For a copy of the AKI Grading Syllabus with the grading techniques, refer to the Grading Syllabus page. The Grading Syllabus simply details what techniques need to be performed at what level of grade. For a description of the techniques, please refer to the Aikido Moves website at http://aikido.webtrax.com.au/.

The Aikido Moves website is a database of aikido techniques and was created by AKI ACT Aikidoist Peter Thomas. It provides a 'what technique is that' list and is linked to the AKI gradings. It is designed as a quick reference so you can select moves by grade, by attack, by defence, etc, view the details of each move, and for most moves watch a short video of the technique.

The site has also been designed to operate well on mobiles as well as larger screen devices. It will even operate when your mobile is not connected to the Internet, you just won't be able to view the videos, as they come direct from YouTube.
