 Brief Personal History      

Peter Brady Sensei Started Aikido in 1969 at Hall Green Technical college. In 1970 joined the Birmingham Athletic Institute and attained Shodan with that organisation in 1973. At this time also practised and later affiliated to the West Midlands Aikikai (part of the then Aikikai of Great Britain). Attained recognition for Shodan from Chiba Sensei in 1976. Nidan in 1978 and Sandan in 1984 with Shibata Sensei. 1987 saw promotion to Yondan again by Chiba Sensei.


In 1996, Peter was promoted to the rank of Godan in Stourbridge West Midlands – again through Chiba Sensei's authority. Peter was promoted to Rokudan in 2003 and is a Shidoin (Hombu recognised Senior teacher) with the United Kingdom Aikikai and also holds the position of Senior Coach and Children's Coach within the British Aikido Board (the Government recognised authority for the teaching of Aikido in Great Britain).


Brady Sensei is the chief instructor for five independently run clubs: Two in Solihull, One in Birmingham central, One in Shrewsbury and One in Slough.

As a result of Chiba Sensei's influence Peter has a strong interest in the weapon side of Aikido and also in the art of Sword drawing known as Iaido. He holds the rank of Sandan with the British Kendo Federation and regularly teaches the Art at his own club.

Brady Sensei was promoted to the rank of 6th Dan in 2003 and also holds the rank of 3rd Dan Iai-do (Japanese Swordsmanship) with the British Kendo Association.  He regularly travels to teach in Greece.
