Our classes run from 7.00pm to 8.30pm, giving you plenty of time to learn and practice this fascinating martial art. Don't worry if you're new to Aikido, our experienced instructors will evaluate your skills and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the sessions. We believe in a supportive and nurturing environment, where everyone can grow and improve together.

Aikido is not your average combat sport. It's an art that originated in Japan, embracing a unique philosophy and mindset. Unlike other martial arts, Aikido focuses on cooperation rather than aggressive competition. By working together, we discover the subtleties of this beautiful practice and cultivate a more powerful and effective approach. Through Aikido, you can develop not only physical skills but also inner peace, self-confidence, and a sense of empowerment.

Leading our Aikido Beginners Classes are two highly skilled chief instructors, Mike Thomson, holding a 2nd Dan black belt, and John Stephens, holding an impressive 3rd Dan black belt. Their expertise and passion for Aikido will guide you on your journey, ensuring that you receive excellent instruction and mentorship.

Now, you might be wondering about the fees. We've got you covered. The first class costs £5, which also includes four weeks of insurance coverage. After that, you can continue to attend our classes for only £4 per session. For those who want to take their Aikido journey to the next level, becoming a member of the esteemed British Aikido Federation is an option. With membership, you'll not only secure one year's insurance but also gain access to a wider Aikido community. The membership fee is just £35, payable in Week 5.

If you're itching to join our Aikido Beginners Classes, all you need to do is hop onto our website and submit your details.
