Our aims are to promote the study of Aikido throughout North West Manchester and to help and assist anyone wanting more information about our club. We always give a warm welcome to beginners and visiting students .

PRACTICE TIMES 

Classes are held at Guildhall Community Centre, Walkden. Most  Fridays .

Classes start at 6.45pm and last until 9.15pm approx. Actual times of start and finish may vary slightly and if you can't come for the beginning try and come for the end.!

BEGINNERS

Beginners are always welcome at both classes. On some Fridays we are lucky enough to be visited by our Technical Director.
