About
Our actions and the impact they have on our students and community.
At Aikido Shobukai Daleside in Nottingham, we offer more than just a martial arts school. We provide a comprehensive wellness programme that combines the physical aspects of Aikido with personal development and character building. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, our classes are designed to meet your needs and help you achieve your goals.
Led by Colin Hallahan, a 3rd Dan Blackbelt or Sandan, and his wife Malena, a 2nd Dan Blackbelt or Nidan, our dojo is committed to providing a supportive and motivating environment for all. Colin has been practising martial arts since he was 14, starting with karate and then Dait-ry Aiki-jjutsu before discovering Yoshinkan Aikido. Inspired by Robert Mustard Sensei, an 8th Dan Yoshinkan Shihan, Colin's focus shifted to Aikido, and he received his 3rd Dan Blackbelt in 2014.
As part of the Aikido Shobukai UK association and affiliated with the British Aikido Association, Aikido Shobukai Daleside provides quality instruction and follows the technical direction of Robert Mustard Sensei. This ensures that our students receive the highest level of training and guidance in their Aikido journey.
Our philosophy at Aikido Shobukai Daleside is centred around transformation. We believe that practising the martial art of Aikido is not just about physical movements but also about cultivating mental and emotional strength. Our classes aim to help you develop a winning mindset, both on and off the mat. No matter your experience level, there is always room to grow, and our instructors will help you perfect your technique and deepen your understanding of self-defence.
We offer a wide variety of classes for all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can find a class that suits their needs. From beginners' classes to advanced techniques, we have something for everyone. Our goal is to foster a sense of harmony and unity within our dojo, creating a supportive community where everyone feels included and encouraged.
