Aikido is suited for both men and women. The aikido we practise is a competitive style developed in Japan 50 years ago; members of our club take part in national and international competitions - as such, we have a strong slant towards competition training; but you can also start aikido to keep fit with the "beginner onwards" technical classes.
We hold two intensive training events, which beginners can join from:
Kangeiko is a week-long training challenge in the winter (February); the challenge is to complete 24 hours of training in 7 days! We train morning, afternoon and evening. Contact us for more info! From beginners onwards.
Aikido marathon is a day long training challenge in November; the challenge is to train for 14 hours in 1 day! From beginners onwards.
