Very thankful that we have air conditioning at our venue. The hot summer temperatures have allowed us to train normally and enjoy our new mats!

Nice article on Aikido and how it's possible to continue training and learning well into retirement age.

Morag Warrack, 68, was so shy it took her a year to pluck up the courage to take her first aikido lesson. Now she’s giving them

We've been thankful for air-conditioning in this hot weather!

Without it Raj and Danny would probably not have ended last week's session with a run of Tanto Tori, knife-taking, in free practice.

The end of the night's practice, and we decided to attack each other with a wooden Tanto and see what defenses came into our head so no choreography, just free-practice 😃

It has been very rewarding to welcome new students onto the mats again. Have met some really nice people and very happy that some have decided to join the club.

Keeps training interesting and newcomers bring a different perspective and their own martial arts experience to our practice.

We added a page about our journey through the pandemic, the lows and the highs.

We think we might have been one of the first Aikido clubs in the world to start virtual training!

There was only one night we didn't train and that was the night Boris announced the first lock down.

We hope this will inspire other clubs in any activity to find ways to use the virtual world in training.

The Covid19 situation has not been an easy time for any of us and like almost all walks of life, sporting activity and Aikido is no exception, particularly due to the contact and close proximity required for training.

Been updating the website now we are back to regular contact training again

Epsom and Ewell Aikido Club was established in the late 1950s and teaches a fast-paced style of contact Aikido that lends itself to self-defence.
