About the club
The Hut Dojo is proud of its long history which dates back to when the defensive Martial Art of Aikido was first taught in the UK in the early 1950s. Based on the principle of using your opponent’s strength against him, Aikido is ideal for both sexes from the age of 8 upwards and you can continue training in your 70s!

"Aikido has allowed me to look at the world in a very different way in terms of trying to find a way of harmonising with people around me."
