About
Founded in 1992, Burwell Aikido Club is a reputable martial arts school located in Cambridge. With Quentin Cooke as the principal teacher, the club prides itself on providing a thriving and friendly environment for students to train. Safety is of utmost importance, and the club takes great care to ensure that all members feel secure during their practise.
One of the defining characteristics of Burwell Aikido Club is its diverse membership. Students of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities have found their way through the doors of the club. The age range is wide, spanning from 10-year-old children to more senior citizens, and there is also a good balance of men and women. The club firmly believes that this diversity greatly enriches the practise of Aikido.
In line with their commitment to inclusion and support, Burwell Aikido Club welcomes members regardless of race, colour, age, culture, ability, ethnicity, nationality, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religious or political affiliations, and socioeconomic status. The club actively promotes awareness of appropriate and welcoming language among its members. They also encourage positive connexions through their practise, fostering a supportive community.
Financial difficulties should never hinder someone from practising Aikido, and Burwell Aikido Club recognises this. Whenever possible, the club offers reduced or waived fees to students who face financial challenges. Their goal is to make Aikido accessible to all who wish to pursue it.
The main focus of Burwell Aikido Club is to show how the principles within Aikido can be applied to daily life to bring about positive change and improve one's overall well-being. Aikido requires individuals to bring their true selves to the mat and accept who they are in order to progress. This transformative process helps students fulfil their true potential.
Burwell Aikido Club is passionate about their affiliations and memberships. They are a founding member of Aikido for Daily Life, an organisation that promotes the integration of Aikido principles into everyday life. The club is also a member of the British Aikido Board, Aiki Extensions, and Peace Dojos International.
