Aikido Alton

Of experience. It is important to practise with control and to communicate with your partner during training. Safety is a top priority, and our instructors will ensure that you practise in a safe and supportive environment.

Equipment Aikido Alton provides a training environment that is equipped with thick mats and a sprung floor to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants. All you need to bring is some loose clothing, such as a t-shirt and sweatpants, and you're ready to go.

Instructors Our experienced instructors, Duncan McGregor and Mike Clayton, are passionate and dedicated practitioners of Aikido. Duncan holds a 5th Dan and has been practising Aikido since 1991, while Mike has over a decade of training experience. They are committed to sharing their knowledge and helping students develop their skills in Aikido.

Beginners Welcome Whether you have previous experience or are completely new to martial arts, Aikido Alton welcomes all ages and levels of experience. In fact, we particularly encourage beginners to join us. We believe that Aikido has something to offer everyone, and our instructors will provide personalised guidance and support to ensure that you progress at your own pace.

Free Introductory Class We understand that starting a new martial art can be intimidating, which is why we offer a free introductory class on the first Tuesday of every month. This gives you the opportunity to come and experience Aikido firsthand, meet our instructors and fellow members, and ask any questions you may have.

Benefits Aikido Alton focuses not only on self-defence but also on overall fitness, coordination, and calmness under pressure. Aikido teaches you to redirect and neutralise an attacker's energy, promoting a sense of harmony and non-aggression. As you continue to practise Aikido, you will develop better balance, coordination, and sensitivity, which can be beneficial in all aspects of life.
