Setsudo Ki Aikido

The New Year is a good time for new beginnings, new experiences and encouragement to give ourselves the extra motivation to venture out in the dark evenings.
This is a nudge to everyone not yet practicing with us to come along and have a go! If you already practice- how about inviting someone new to come along with you in the new year?
Our dojos are all very welcoming and there’s even tea, and sometimes chocolate or biscuits! Have a look at our ‘clubs’ page for more information and how to get in touch.

Our school runs regular courses where we all get together to practice- take a look on the courses page for more information on times and venues. The next one is in just a few weeks time in Okehampton. This is a lovely dojo looking down over rolling hills, we all stay in the hostel at Bracken Tor and it gives us the rare opportunity to share a meal together on the Saturday evening.
Looking forward to seeing all of you – faces old and new.
