The DOJO space is a martial arts school located in Kensal Rise, London. With a focus on Aikido, health, and wellbeing, they offer a wide range of classes and events for people of all ages and abilities.
Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art, is at the heart of the DOJO's teaching. Created by Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido emphasises harmonising with the life force or energy of the universe. Unlike competitive sports, Aikido is practised through cooperative training, promoting personal growth and development without causing harm or fear of injury. It is often referred to as “The Art of Peace.
Managed by Notting Hill Aikikai, a member of the United States Aikido Federation (USAF), the DOJO upholds the principles and integrity of traditional Aikido. As an official representative of the Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, they offer private and group classes for all ages throughout the week.
In addition to Aikido, the DOJO also offers a variety of other classes and workshops to promote health and wellbeing. These include baby massage, Iyengar yoga, Pilates, mindful Qigong, community yoga, and yoga with Emily. Each class is conducted by experienced instructors who are passionate about helping individuals achieve their personal wellness goals.
The DOJO space is not only a place for martial arts training but also a community hub. They offer venue hire for group events and workshops, providing a welcoming and dedicated space for like-minded individuals to gather and share their knowledge and experiences.
