Aikido Shoshinkan (West Bridgford Dojo)

My child loves having lessons here. Everybody in the room is friendly and discipline. Aim at training the mind and the physical body as well as protecting and helping people around. Osu.

My five-year-old son has been attending Aikido Shoshinkan (West Bridgford dojo) for just over two months. The class is attended by children of mixed ages and at different levels of their practice. All children have been very welcoming, its great to see the older ones being very patient and encouraging towards the younger ones. The instruction is excellent. The class is structured to nurture participation and collaboration. Importantly, children are also reminded to take care of each other while practising the techniques. The children are taught not only how to defend themselves, but also how to remain calm, focused and the importance of respect. The class ends with a group game which my son enjoys immensely. Overall, I highly recommend this class. It is a wonderful way for kids to develop physical strength, mental focus, and emotional intelligence in a safe and supportive environment.

What an amazing family. From day one here I was welcomed with open arms as part of the family, never having to earn my place unlike other clubs I had been to elsewhere. On the mat, there is a strong aikido spirit and etiquette, with the chance for everyone to train together regardless of current belt. The sensei here, are very good at been able to encourage you to leave your comfort zone and grow while making sure you can do so in a very safe way. It has so rapidly increased my fitness too while been there.

My daughter has been going to the club for last couple of years and likes it a lot. Its very well run, with great structure and above all Tad and all the excellent team make learning the martial art fun as well.

My 3 boys have been training aikido under sensei Tad for about 2 years now. They have grown massively in confidence and fitness. The club and other students are very friendly and my boys have made many friends. They also have an annual aikido summer camp which is always so much fun. Aikido seems like something they will stick with for many years to come.
