Getting Started

Beginner:

·      What should I wear as a beginner?   A T-Shirt and track suit bottom that is comfortable to train in is suitable for your first few weeks.   

·      What about Club Membership?  Club Membership is a necessary requirement for your Insurance as well as obtaining your official Club Membership Book for grading and courses. Insurance is obtained via your Club and the British Aikido Board.    

·      You are more than welcome to come and watch before you practice, our friendly club members will be happy to see you.  It is free to watch a lesson although your experience on the mat as a participant will give you a better insight of what Aikido is all about.
