Aikikai Aikido Dulwich | London, United Kingdom

Gabriel Chin-Cave invites you to join Aikikai Aikido Dulwich, a top martial arts club in London. Serving the West Dulwich, Crystal Palace, Gipsy Hill, and West Norbury areas, it's perfect for those nearby.

Aikido here is all about non-competition and non-resistance, offering practical self-defence and personal growth. Gabriel, training since 2011 and fresh from a stint at Osaka Aikikai, leads sessions with passion and expertise.

The club’s techniques trace back to Tanaka Bansen Shihan, a student of Aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, ensuring authentic practice. Affiliated with Osaka Aikikai, their grading is globally recognised.

Students value the club’s welcoming vibe and community spirit. Beginners are welcomed warmly, making it a great place to start. Classes every Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm at Chevening Rd, London SE19 3TE. Reach out via email to learn more or to join this supportive and dynamic environment.
