December 2024: Aikido for Beginners!

Inori Aikido Dojo, your local Martial Arts club, is launching a brand‑new Beginners Course on 9th January 2025 at Woolpit Village Hall. If you’re making New Year’s resolutions, this is the perfect opportunity to try Aikido, the Art of Peace — a dynamic Japanese martial art that strengthens body, mind, and spirit.

A trial course like this is a great way to get out of the house, meet new people, discover a new hobby, and perhaps even make a life‑changing commitment.

Aikido is non‑competitive and accessible to everyone, and above all, it’s fun. During the course you’ll learn the foundations of the art, including how to fall safely, posture breaking, basic techniques, joint immobilisation, throws, and the fundamentals of sword and staff work.

The course runs for four consecutive Thursdays, from 7pm to 9pm, and is open to anyone aged 7 and over. Thanks to the generous support of the Suffolk Community Foundation through the Suffolk Sports Fund, this programme is completely FREE of charge.

We look forward to welcoming new beginners and sharing the joy of Aikido with our community.
