Weekly Bulletin 18th February
Hello Everyone,
Apologies for the lateness of this email, but it is OK because half term is here! All schools are closed so remember there is NO afterschool clubs this week!
The start of the year beginners course is coming to a close with the penultimate week here – BUT…
If you or a friend have missed out on the beginners course on this occasion then do not worry! Our 2nd beginners course of the year will be starting NEXT WEEK at the Dunkirk Dojo! I am hoping for a good turn out as I will be personally teaching this one so please spread the word about this! More info below!
Lets keep recruiting for our family!!!
DUNKIRK BEGINNERS COURSE! – *STARTS NEXT WEEK*
If you, or a friend, are bored of the gym, looking to get fitter, striving to become an internationally known martial artist, or just looking for a new hobby, these are the dates you need to remember! The following courses will be starting on the following dates:
Beginners courses in Sneinton (Nottingham) Dojo and the Derby Dojo have already started last but it is not too late to start aikido with a slow paced, comfortable block of classes!
This is a course perfectly designed for a beginner to transit in to a fully paced regular class. With the focus being on the absolute fundamentals, anyone can benefit from these classes, even a seasoned black belt! This year will include an element of self-defence too! All courses will cost a fee of £60 for the 5 weeks.
The class is open for all existing members and we encourage you to come and help with the beginners and revise the basics for yourself too!
Please spread the word and help our Aikido Family grow!

Please let us know ASAP if you are interested in purchasing a new dogi
WEDNESDAY JUNIOR CLASS WITH SENSEI ROWAN
The junior class on a Wednesday evening from 6:00pm – 7:00pm in the Sneinton Dojo is a great opportunity for juniors of ALL LEVELS to train in a larger space enabling the prospect of practicing more dynamic, difficult throws and improving your aikido experience. The space we have at this Dojo can be 4 times the size of that in the Dunkirk Dojo when all of the mats are utilized. Personally this is also an important class for me as I start to teach more of my own classes and hope to continue to grow as a teacher and role model for the students and your children.
This is also a good class for the juniors with hopes of moving on to the adult classes in the future as it is immediately followed by a beginners level adult class which would eventually be ideal for them to transition between the classes. It is already a possibility for some juniors to stay on the mats for the adult class if the instructors deem the student as ready.
