We have made the arrangements to restart our very popular beginners’ course aimed at complete Aikido novices. Classes take place over a rolling 8 week period providing an introduction to Yoshinkan Aikido focusing on the basic techniques and their application in a self defence situation.
These sessions will take place at the Shoshinkan dojo situated at Games Workshop on:
Thursday evenings from 6.30pm to 7.30pm starting Thursday 3rd September 2009.
Because each class is stand alone you can start at any time and a missed class isn’t an issue. Once you have attended a minimum of 8 weeks students will be encouraged to join the regular classes.
Cost
Only £5 per class or £30 for 8 classes.
If you would like to attend please fill in our brief contact form typing “Beginners Course” in the subject and let us know which Thursday you will be attending.

We drove nearly 3-4 hours up in the mountains from Gliwice to somewhere called Karpacz.
Lovely countryside and the location had a great facility for kids and adults. It really reminded me of the summer camps you see in the American movies.
Training was 2 session of Aikido in the morning, and Grappling (Jujitsu) in the afternoon. The training was hard but very focused and rewarding sessions.
Especially the grappling class was very eye opening, as we leant some set throws and holds and then we did some grapple wrestling!! It was a great opportunity to put the aikido moves and pins into practice in more difficult situations.
I think there is something about all Aikidoka as everyone I ever meet wherever in the world are always pleasant and everyone from Sensei Pawel’s dojo were no exception.
Everyone was really nice and they all came up to speak to me whenever possible. Obviously the topic of the conversation was nothing other than Aikido!!
Swigging down numerous “Cytrynówka” (vodka with lemon juice) that gets topped up every 10 minutes in front of the barbecue was an unforgettable experience!!!
Lastly I would like to thank everyone who was at the summer camp for making the last week a really great holiday for me. Sensei Pawel thank you very much for your teaching and arrangements for me during the stay, and thanks to everyone who I trained with and shared the Cytrynówka!!
We hope to bring some more students next year and see you soon.
Osu!
