My name is John (as you can tell from the title) and I have an aikido club (as you can tell from the title).
My class is quite small, which is the way I like it. Unlike some of the harder martial arts styles, you can't cram the students in.
I've had my club for about 18 months. Teaching Aikido, is my way of relaxing,
My top student is Daisy, (my partner), who is always whingeing about going but enjoys it when she gets there.
This is Daisy
"Aikido seems such a gentle form of excercise but after you've picked yourself up from the floor the umpteenth time you realise that it must be doing you some good! I've also discovered the joy of reducing full grown men to a heap on the floor, it gives me such pleasure."
Thank you Daisy, that's it for us.
