Best Martial Arts and Combat Sports Classes in Bournemouth

Some of our clubs have dedicated junior classes which accept students from 5 years old, however regular classes are open to everyone over 14 years of age. No prior experience is required. We ask only that you be willing to learn. Since strength is not a factor in Aikido this is a perfect art for anyone, young or old, strong or weak.

Spectators are always welcome to visit the dojo and watch the class. If you are seriously considering taking up Aikido we would suggest you come and watch a class. This allows you to see what we teach and decide if our teaching method is what you are looking for.

Any form of martial art is potentially dangerous, but no effort is spared to ensure safety during training. Our Associations Chief Instructor places a great deal of emphasis on safety as well as practising and effective martial art.

In fact, Ki-Aikido will help promote good health and well being. It is generally safe to learn Ki-Aikido even under certain medical conditions; it all depends on the nature of the disability. Please contact your local club to find out if Ki Aikido will be suitable for you.

Unlike in the movies, martial art training takes months of practice to become proficient at the art. Every person learns at a different pace and our training is designed to accommodate your personal pace.
