AIKIDO

Aikido training plans, built for your goal

Aikido's demands are less about strength or cardio and more about falling safely and absorbing force through ukemi, plus the hip and joint mobility needed for wrist and shoulder locks. SportBlox builds your aikido training plan around your goal, current level and grading timeline.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like confidence taking ukemi at speed, wrist and shoulder mobility, balance under off-axis pressure and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

For coaches

Coaching an aikido team?

SportBlox builds your team's training plan around the squad as a whole — its goals, weaknesses and upcoming events — and you review and refine every session before your athletes see it.

FAQ

Aikido training plan FAQ

How many sessions per week does the plan include?

Usually 4–5 sessions covering ukemi, footwork, mobility and strength, with a rest day.

Do I need a mat and a partner for ukemi practice?

Dojo sessions assume mat access and a partner; mobility and balance work can be done at home if flagged as a constraint.

Is aikido training suitable for beginners or older athletes?

Yes — it's low-impact by nature, and setting skill level to Inexperienced keeps early sessions focused on safe ukemi fundamentals.

Will it fit around my dojo's class schedule?

Tell SportBlox your regular dojo sessions and it builds the supporting mobility and strength work around them.

Does it help prevent wrist and shoulder injuries?

Sessions target the joint mobility most linked to safe technique practice, but flag any existing injury so locks and falls are trained conservatively.
