稽古 Keiko — trainingAikido for adults, from complete beginner up.

The antidote to a long week.

Two hours on the mat asks for your full attention — and in return, everything else goes quiet. Most of our adults came for fitness. They stayed for the calm.

Adult students training at a Saturday class

No experience. No fitness requirement. No egos.

You will be shown everything slowly, partnered with someone patient, and never asked to do anything before you are ready. Aikido has no competitions, so there is nobody to beat — including you on a bad day.

  • Stress relief — a practice that empties the head, not just the tank
  • Whole-body fitness — strength, flexibility and posture, built gradually
  • Practical self-defence — awareness and redirection, not aggression
  • Community — training partners who notice when you're missing
  • A path — grading when you're ready, never before

Techniques are practised cooperatively — your partner helps you learn

Your first Saturday, step by step

  • Arrive ten minutes early and introduce yourself to Aziz Sensei
  • Loose clothing, bare feet — nothing to buy for the trial
  • You'll learn to fall safely before you learn anything else
  • Watch instead of joining in if you prefer — that's fine too
