thankyou in advance greg.

:cool:

i've been meaning to try out aikido for a while - i've never done any martial arts though, does your club teach beginners?

hi , yes at the moment there is about only 5-6 regular members with two teachers and normally one teacher will take the more advanced of the group while the other black belt will teach the begginers, more often than not 1 on 1 so there is a very good start for begginers with no high impact or exhaustive excercises just teaching the basics until you feel that you want to progress. we would do our upmost to make you feel very welcome and would greatly apprieciate your turning up, if you have any more questions please dont hesitate to ring stev on the telephone number on the original post or post back here. hope to hear from you soon
regards greg

Please say hello to Steve and Martin from me ...

One main reason you don't have many members is due to the fact hardly anyone lives thats size of Sheffield, it's all industry..
You want to do a gym either in town, or eccasall/ abbeydale area.
I'd come, but for an hours work out, i'm gonna be doing about one n a half hours of traveling.

yes i see your point but as we previously had our club at norton collage and did not have a huge group i cannot see that as a valid reason, especially as we are now based in the English Institute of Sport, surely the most apt place for a sporting club?


Re to Rupert, will do hope you are well

i will probably be along tomorrow to try it out - is the place easy to find?

:thumbsup:

excellent, just wear jogging bottoms and a t-shirt or something like that. the enterence to the Institue of Sport is across the road from the car park of the new ice skating ring, once inside ask anybody where the dojo is or where the aikido group is, as we have just moved i am in the same position as you and am not sure of where abouts the room inside is so ill proberbly meet you wandering around, if you want to ask for the room place then ring Steve on

Rowan Aikido Club

how much is a session?

how much is it and is it suitable for both boys and girls?

There is also a Shodokan Aikido student club at Sheffield University, with a Town club for non-students. The dojo is in the centre of town, with classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and a female only class on Wednesday.

Google Sheffield University Aikido club, and you'll pick up thier site, and there are links to the town club
