Welcome to City University Shodokan Aikido. We are a friendly, long established aikido club in the heart of London, located at the City University. We are open to the general public as well as the university students and welcome new members at any time.
Our instructors are some of the most experienced in the UK. We also have regular visits from top level international instructors which continues the learning of every member of the club. Throughout the year the are opportunities to attend courses either at City University or in other venues where you will meet aikido players of all levels from other clubs.
Shodokan Aikido is a competitive form of aikido so you have the chance to participate in competitions if this is of interest to you. However, they are not compulsory. You will still be able to learn the principles of timing, distance, etc and a little of the intensity of competitive practice during normal lessons.
Please take a few minutes to look around our web site and learn a little about aikido and our club. If you are interested in attending a practice session please come along to watch or, as we would prefer, participate. Your first lesson is free.
