Aikido for adults from beginners to experienced practitioners.

The Hagakure Aikido Dojo welcomes all enquiries regardless of your martial arts background and individual abilities. The lessons for adults are available three times per week at the Houghton Sports Complex:

• Saturday - 13:30-15:30

The lessons are delivered by Sensei Paul Gray with assistance from Sensei Derek Armstrong in a fun and friendly atmosphere. All students will be given the opportunity to train at their own pace and experience a range of techniques:

• Aikido foot and body movements
• Ukemi (rolls and break falls)
• Katame Waza (immobilisation techniques)
• Nage Waza (throw and projection techniques)
• Sword (Bokken) and Staff (Jo) practice

The Hagakure Aikido Dojo has developed a rich and comprehensive training programme and syllabus and the students will also be given the chance to learn a range of Jo and Bokken katas created by Sensei Paul Gray.

Students will be able to grade and demonstrate their Aikido techniques to an independent panel up to 3 times a year and sufficient time is always allocated to syllabus training throughout the year in preparation for grading.
