Interested in learning Aikido? Then read on...

A few years ago the Hagakure Aikido Dojo launched lessons for Juniors, children aged 6-12, and it has now become the busiest Aikido club in the region! You can find us at the Houghton Sports Complex on the following day:

• Saturday 11:30-12:30
• Saturday 12.30-1.30

The lessons are delivered by Sensei Jeff Taylor  and Sensei Clare Gray. The training is fun, fast-paced and diverse in order to retain the interest of the students. The children's favourites include:

• Warm-up exercises to music
• Pin-downs and throws
• Forward and backward rolls
• Sword and Staff basic techniques
• Aikido Tiggy

The Aikido techniques and the training syllabus have been adapted to remain age appropriate, all the techniques are non-aggressive and during the lessons there is a clear emphasis on Dojo etiquette, discipline and respecting others.

The Hagakure Aikido Club has developed an innovative approach to grading the Juniors. The children have the opportunity to take part in grading four times a year and on each occasion a certificate of merit will be presented to your child.

Grading is always an important event for the children and we do encourage friends and families to come and support the students.
