Training booking
Everyone, especially new members should book in to the practices they plan to attend – we can ensure the sports centre will allow you through the barrier.
Select the date you want to book using the calendar button on the right, then book a practice.
Which session is best for Beginners?
As Aikido is not at all competitive, beginners can easily be assimilated into any of the classes. You’ll find the more senior students very considerate and helpful (that’s all part of Aikido!). If you are unsure about what happens in a practice we suggest that, before attending a class, you may choose to watch one, to see what is involved.
What do you wear for Aikido practice?
We normally wear a white judo or karate suit. To start with, you can wear any loose-fitting clothing, like a track-suit with long trousers. No jeans or jewelry, please!
