Aikido Parede

Aikido school Cascais visitors can discover through Aikido Parede, linked to União Portuguesa de Budo (UBU), an association dedicated to traditional Japanese martial arts in Portugal. The organisation presents Budo as a path rather than a sport, bringing together technical practice with spiritual, moral and social development.

UBU’s Aikido practice is rooted in technical precision, control of the spirit and fidelity to lines of transmission connected to Morihei Ueshiba’s teaching. The discipline was introduced at UBU in 1965, and the Stobbaerts–Kobayashi technical line became its central Aikido reference after Hirokazu Kobayashi began leading seminars in 1971.

The association was founded in 1960 and traces its origins to Mestre António Hilmar Schalck Corrêa Pereira. Its wider work includes Judo, Karate-do and Aikido, with an approach that emphasises classical Budo and martial reality rather than sporting orientation.

For people in Parede and the Cascais area looking for an Aikido school Cascais connection, Aikido Parede is listed at Avenida Bombeiros Voluntários 147. UBU also identifies Aikido dojos in Almada, Lisbon and Porto, each with its own training schedule and instructors.
