Bristol North Aikido Dojo

My son and daughter (11 and 9) really enjoy Daren's Aikedo classes. He is a talented teacher who makes every lesson fun whilst they learn how to move their bodies with agility, speed and balance.

I really recommend this group. My 8 year old has been going for nearly 3 years and my 5 year old has just started too. They both love it and come back buzzing. It's a mixture of games, independent moves and partner work which keeps the class varied and fast-paced, plus there are regular gradings where they can achieve their coloured belts and ribbons as they improve. During lockdown, the classes have been adapted for zoom which works well too.Daren and his team are always very supportive and patient with the little ones, whilst having enough variety to keep the bigger ones occupied too. It's a safe, supportive and fun environment, with a lot of emphasis on team work and looking out for one another.

Daren and the team at Bristol North Aikido Dojo have an amazing way with our young kids (9 and 5). The kids enjoy the play (warm up) time before and after and getting down to the serious side too of self-defence. The kids can't wait for their next grading and moving up the ranks.

Great

Great classes every week, with friendly people and a great atmosphere. Junior and Teenage classes also run
