CORONAVIRUS UPDATE (9/7/20)

Following UK Government advice, the Arun Aikido Club continue to suspend training until further notice. This is to ensure students and families are safe.

NAKMAS, who are the Arun Aikido Club governing Body have advised us that we should be able to resume training soon, but still advise no student contact.

We are currently looking at the recommended safeguards to train without contact. This would include postures, breakfalls, theory, question/answer sessions, etc.
