Beginners:

 

We run 6 week beginners courses throughout the year.  They are £55 for six Thursday evening classes (would normally be £60).

 

The next beginners course starts on 19th September 2024.  

 

That will teach you how to fall safely, how to move with good alignment and coordinate your movemnts to use the most powerful muscles first.  You will also learn some basic techniques and should be able to get to the first level - called 5th Kyu.

 

 

Courses coming up this year:

 

Pascal DURCHON (6th Dan Aikikai) 

dates to be confirmed

 

Dimitri CRENIER (6th Dan Aikikai)

dates to be confirmed

 

To be arranged - we hope to re-establish our week long course with Pascal in August 2025

 

 

Also - through our 'sister' club, Yokohama International Aikido Devon, there will also be a major event later this year - details to follow!

Media

Photographs of aikido and videos of aikido are inherently 'misrepresentations' of the martial art.

 

Aikido is physical - an experience - which effects us both physically and emotionally.  It is not possible to learn aikido from studying pictures or videos, though they can be very useful for reflection, and sometimes for inspiration! 

 

Having said that - feel free to click on the links to the left of this - there you will find some photos and videos of us practising, of demonstrations, and of our teachers as well as a host of YouTube links
