Joining the London Aikido Dojo - Beginners/New Members Updated on 14/10/08
Aikido students can join the London Aikido Dojo in one of two ways:
Option 1
Join at any time by coming along to a session that suits your schedule and start by joining in with the regular Aikido students.
If you are employed then you will need to pay the membership/insurance fee of £25 and £6 per class or £40 monthly for unlimited sessions.
If you are unemployed or a full-time student you will need to provide current evidence of your status and pay the membership/insurance fee of £25 and £3.50 per class or £25 monthly for unlimited sessions.
*Monthly payments are due at the first session of each month that you attend and you can drop in and out of the monthly payment option at any time.
Option 2
Join one of the planned 10 week beginners aikido course by filling in and printing the online booking form and sending to me with a £15 deposit. The remaining balance of £45 will be due at the first session of the course you have enrolled on.
This option not only includes your membership/insurance but also gives you access to all the sessions that the club provides for free during the 10 week period of your beginner's aikido course. At the end of the 10 week beginner’s course you will then need to pay £6 per session, or you may pay £40 monthly for unlimited sessions.
*No concessions on the 10 week Beginners courses for unemployed and full-time students, however at the end of the beginners course the fees are as above for unemployed and full-time students providing evidence of status.
*Monthly payments are due at the first session of each month that you attend and you can drop in and out of the monthly payment option at any time.

ABC Class – self defence and fitness for women Updated on 29/09/08
- Avoidance / Awareness
- Balance / Breathing
- Co-ordination / Control ………… Confidence
Classes run mainly by women from the London Aikido Dojo with the guidance of Sensei Tony Evangelou.
Each class will have:
* warm-up and stretching
* exercises in strong posture, smooth movement, & strong and weak effects
*at least one Aikido technique (demonstration, instruction & lots of practice)
*warm-down, stretching, breathing exercises and relaxation
There will be, over time, instruction in
1. the first 17 techniques of the Tomiki system of Aikido;
2. escaping grabs and wrist grasps
3. practice in a number of advanced Aikido techniques which can be effective in rudimentary self-defence
The class aims to build your understanding of why various techniques are (or can be) effective in self defence: awareness, avoidance, breaking attacker’s balance, and using or re-directing the energy of their attack. The emphasis is on stong posture, relaxed performance, good timing and co-ordination; all achieved through practice.
Aikido’s objective is to CONTROL – not to injure.
We want you to have fun, build personal confidence and develop effectiveness through practice.
No uniform, no gradings.
Bacon College has changing rooms, showers, and off-street parking; and is close to the 381 Bus route.
Join on any Monday night. If you like it, bring your friends. If the class makes you want to learn more Aikido and get graded, we’ll help and support you to check out other classes and beginner courses within the club.
