Following the government announcement earlier this week, we have now been given the go ahead to resume contact Aikido. From next week the three classes on the revised timetable are open to all grades. Beginners welcome.

We would ask you to observe general hygiene measures obviously. Sanitiser will be provided.

Changing rooms will now be open.

Returning to Aikido

Enter the club by the normal reception entrance where your temperature will be taken.

Please do not attend if showing any symptoms or have a cough/cold.

You will be required to provide contact details for test and trace and to fill in an “opt in” form.

Spectators are not allowed to wait in the reception area. The entrance door will be locked during practice.

Sanitizer will be provided to be used before and after the session.

There will be a one way system so you will exit the dojo from the exit door at the bottom.

Please bring your own weapons which can be sanitized after use.

The timetable is obviously restricted at the moment and sadly we can only welcome students of 16+ years.

The date we are starting is Tuesday May 18th Class at 8pm-9.15pm

Thursday 8pm-9.15pm Sunday 11am-12noon

The classes will be weapons practice as we are not allowed contact at the moment.

A Saturday junior class will be starting in June. I will confirm nearer the time.

Looking forward to seeing you all

It has been a tough year for most and all we can do is hope that 2021 is kinder to us all.

Thank you to all the instructors, big thanks to Lisa, Natalie and Julia for the online classes and thankyou to you all for supporting them.

We will obviously keep you informed of any changes and look forward to when we can all get together again.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas and a much better 2021

The British Aikido Board (BAB) is working to a 4 stage strategy to allow us to return to aikido training.

We are now allowed to move to stage 2 enabling us to practice non contact activities such as exercises, Ukemi and Jo and Boken work.

Please do not attend if showing any symptoms or have a cough/cold.

You will be required to provide contact details for test and trace and to fill in an “opt in” form.

Please come ready changed as changing rooms will be out of use at the moment. Hakamas can be put on in the

reception area.

Spectators are not allowed to wait in the reception area. The entrance door will be locked during practice.

Sanitizer will be provided to be used before and after the session.

There will be a one way system so you will exit the dojo from the exit door at the bottom.

A sweat towel is permitted to be kept in your own bag with outdoor shoes which will be taken on the mat with you to be left in your own section of the mat.

Please bring your own weapons which can be sanitized after use.

The timetable is obviously restricted at the moment and sadly we can only welcome students of 16+ years.

The date we are starting is Tuesday September 8th Class at 8pm-9pm
