ESSEX AIKIDO DOJO (Shoshinkan) Martial Arts for Children & Adults

Top club, knowledgeable instructors and fantastic members. Shaun is one of the best instructors on the circuit and does a really good job from onboarding newbies all the way to hosting the national squad sessions. Kids classes regularly attract strong numbers and they always leave with huge smiles on their faces. Shoshinkan really does a great service to grassroots aikido.

I have been training here with Sensei Shaun Hoddy and Sensei Andy Wisbey for the last 12 years and have loved every second of it. They have helped and nurtured me for all that time and have had a huge positive impact on the man I am today. It is a fantastic environment for people of all ages and abilities with great family values. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a new hobby.

We are so pleased to have found these family aikido classes Really friendly, kind, fun and welcoming for all the family. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon learning a martial art that is great for both mind and body.

Amazing club for kids, great atmosphere, fun and safe learning environment. My kids cannot wait for the training day!
