Dan Weapons class ( this may be extended more frequently depending on attendance) How Much?Matt fees are paid per lesson. Lessons are £6 each . Cambridge Aikido is non profit making. The alternative is a £40 standing order payable on the first of the month. In addition to mat fees, anybody not holding valid insurance or anyone wishing to become a club member will be required to join the international Takemusu Iwama Aikido Europe organisation to which the club belongs. Membership in this costs £25 per year which includes personal indemnity insurance. All kyu gradings are conducted by club instructors and Dan gradings are internationally (Aikikai) recognised as the TIA is in turn a member of the Takemusu Aikido Association.
FAQI am a beginner. Do I need to purchase a Gi (White training outfit) before starting. No, not unless you want to. It is quite acceptable for the first few lessons to just wear loose clothing e.g. T shirt and trainer bottoms. I have never done Aikido before. Which is the best lesson to start on? Whichever one suits you, apart from the Friday weapons class. Remember the more lessons you do each week the quicker you will progress. I want to learn to defend myself. Is Aikido suitable? Definitely but you must be patient. It takes time to be proficient in any Martial Art. |
