Back To Three Nights A Week

Unfortunately due to a fall off in numbers, we are having to cancel Monday evening classes for the medium term at least. We will review this in the New Year and hopefully be able to reopen Monday’s at some stage.

New extra classes in London OAA

Along the lines of, ‘If you build it they will come’…

Well so many are coming that we need an extra night just to fit everyone in. So from November 5th we are now running classes 4 nights a week in the dojo. We’ve added Monday nights to our regular training schedule. Same time, same place, quite similar people.

This either means you have extra choice (and extra value of course) or you can train 4 times every week and reduce your exposure to non-aikido things.

Kobayashi Shihan in Bath

Excellent and very inspiring course by Kobayashi Shihan in Bath. 4 days of fun and sweat. Very good attendance, with lots of people from many different associations. Exhausting and exhilarating.

Congratulations to Michael for passing nidan on the course!

Thanks to Jeff and everyone for all their hard work organising everything.
