Answer:

Classes are held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings for Adults, Wednesday evenings for Juniors in Bacons College Sport Centre and Sunday Mornings for Adults at the Tokei Martial Arts Centre. You are welcome to come along and try a practice session at anytime or just sit and watch a class or two, although you will get a better idea of what the activity is by taking part.

Answer:

This really depends on how often you train and how quickly you can learn the technical syllabus. Gradings are held every 6 months within the London Aikido Dojo and if you were to pass every grading it could take as little as 3 years.
