We are back to training on Tuesdays for our senior sessions.
Unfortunately we don’t have the availability to deliver junior sessions yet. We will update this page when we can resume these important sessions. Please bear with us. If you are looking to enrol into these, please let us know of your intention by emailing us using the “contact us” details below.
Thank you for your understanding.
You may have seen the Prime Minister’s new guidance that everyone in the UK should now avoid ‘non-essential’ travel and contact with others to fight coronavirus.
In light of this new advice from the Government we have taken the decision of holding all Aikido sessions for the foreseeable future.
We will be updating this page with information on next sessions once it’s decided it is safe for us to resume training. Please keep in touch anyway and we will see you on the other side.
All the best from the Newbury Aikido Club.
Both Juniors (10 to 15 years old) and Seniors (16 to 105 year old) free induction sessions.
These induction sessions are designed to help new students learn the basic skills they need to get involved in Aikido.

The Newbury Aikido Club team.
Newbury Aikido Club is a friendly, sociable club aimed at both juniors (ages 6-15) and seniors (ages 16+) that focuses on the Tomiki style of Aikido. The Tomiki style has proven to be popular with people of all ages.
The club meets at the Riverside Community Centre in Newbury. A typical aikido session will begin with a light warm up and stretching. This will include basic movements that help with the aikido techniques that are practiced later. Various break falls are then performed to ensure that everyone can fall and roll safely.
Aikido consists of avoiding the attack and using the attacker’s force against them. This involves both throws and controls. Each person will act as both attacker and defender during the session.
Techniques will also be practiced in a freestyle attack situation to allow the person to be put under more pressure. This can also build into defending against attacks with weapons and multiple opponents.
