Arun Aikido Courses
Bognor Regis, UK

Arun Aikido have been offering unique training in Aikido since 1992. We had a break in 2007, and in 2010 we reopened the club for training again.

In 2020 the pandemic and lockdown arrived and shut us down.

Since then we have been busy and are now considering preparing for our return. In 2024/5 we will offer small group, short courses on aikido and self defence.

Are YOU interested in taking a short 6 week aikido course? Let Us Know!

We apologise for the inconvenience. If any of our previous students wish to collect their grading certificates and belts please contact Tony for details.

Also for those students who wish to continue with their training in Yoshinkan Aikido, I can offer you the following clubs, who offer hard disciplined training.

Please Note: your grade levels are recognised by the Arun Aikido Club and Nakmas, so you will have to wear a white belt and approach as a beginner. Once you show your skill level you may move through the grades at a faster rate!
