Thank you all for lovely workshop. Most profound thing said to me afterwards: "Strange thing with Aikido but there is so much of human connection and friendship"

Gratulation to Polina and Martin to their successful grading. What does it mean when you achieve a grading? Perhaps start again and try to learn and study the level you are at here and now.

We had a fantastic introduction to 2024 by Gillard Sensei. Thank you for everybody attending. How to move without running into conflict? How to hold with intent?

Gratulation to Peter Gillard's promotion at the Kagami Baraki ceremony. This is well deserved. We are the lucky club - Sensei will give his first classes this year in our little dojo. Please come and join us (15th and 18th Jan 2024) in Menai Bridge

Our dojo sends our condolence to Bryn Holliday's family. Bryn was such an enthusiast, always on the go, always supported Aikido and Cardiff club. I miss his smile and humour

What a summer school this year! Sensei showed us the most gentle, soft Aikido I have ever experienced. Working on energy and kindness, yet he is so exact in his techniques. I loved the "old" versions how to do Ikkyu, very martial!

Thank you to Hazel visiting our dojo and sharing her energy with us. No resistance, just flow and love for the art.

What an achievement: 50 years of AIKIDO practise! Gratulation to Ian MacLarence Sensei. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for this beautiful art! And excellent grading to all who achieved their first grading. It is the most important grading of all, Aikido is a lifetime study and you started this path.
