Belfast Shodokan Aikido

I trained here a few years ago and left due to one of the instructors. Let me start by saying that Paul Bradley and Craig Chambers were very helpful and supportive. Always giving feedback about what you did well and what you could improve on. Davy Millar on the other hand never offered constructive criticism, only criticism for the sake of being critical. I don't know if it was just me he took a disliking to but I eventually left due to his constant snide comments in front of other students. ...

Great club ! Good Aikido ! Nice bunch of people

I've been here 1 year now and counting, you could find a better bunch of people, I always have fun and I get to learn 1 of the oldest martial arts there is. It's a bit mind boggling sometimes but once you get it, everything just fits into place. Come along and have some bending, twisting fun 😁

Excellent club! Training here every Tue and Thu evening. £5 for a 2 hour session - well worth your money. Instructors are knowledgeable and experienced and teach in a friendly, patient and understandable manner and offer help and advice. Class usually includes base exercises, foot and hand movements, kata, randori, and practical application. I've learned lots (and am still learning happily) and made very good friends. Made me a better person really - can't beat that.
