Juniors

Taking students from 6 years of age up to 15 years of age the juniors practice on Saturday 10 am until 11 am. You can turn up at any time to watch or take part. The junior syllabus has all joint locking removed for safety so the junior class focuses on principles (and fun) which can stand them in good stead for learning ‘full’ aikido later on.

We take children’s training very seriously and all our sensei have been through the relevant Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) background check. We have also a welfare officer who will be happy to discuss any concerns you may have. Please email welfare.officer@newburyaikidoclub.co.uk if you have any further queries regarding Newbury Aikido Club Juniors training.
