New extra classes in London OAA

October 27th, 2007

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.

Courses, Courses, Courses.

March 26th, 2007

October 2007 Bath. Kobayashi Yasuo Shihan, 8th Dan, is coming to England for the 1st time to give a 4 day seminar.

Organised by the Tenchikan Dojo as part of Kobayashi Dojos UK, this should be an excellent course. It’s in the Bath University dojo again which is a lovely facility. It is likely to be very well attended so register for your place early!

June 2007 London. At the end of June our regular course with Hiroaki Sensei is in London in the Colombo Leisure Centre. An excellent opportunity to train with the next generation of Aikido Kobayashi Dojo’s UK and a good run up to the October seminar in Bath!
