About Gloucester Aikido Club
The club membership has a progressive following which proudly has eight dan grades. Our club instructors have fulfilled a recognised BAB (The British Aikido Board) Coaching course - A National instructors' award to teach Aikido. Please note: E&OE.
Aikido, a Japanese martial art based on self defence and self
improvement, is a sound way to develop a personal level of fitness and is an enjoyable pastime which can fit in with work, social and family life.
Gloucester Aikido Club does not hold junior classes at any of our training sessions, limiting the age for students to a minimum of 18 years.
Beginners are always welcome.
We follow traditional Japanese etiquette. Don't worry about it - just copy everyone else until you pick it up.
Clothing - A judogi (suit) is preferred. However, for the first few practices, something loose - track suit/T-shirt or similar is acceptable.
For safety reasons footwear should be worn from changing rooms to dojo (practice hall) and no jewellery is allowed on the mat.
For insurance purposes, you need to join the UKA after two classes.
