Aikido for Everyone!

 

Joining the Sussex Sport Aikido Club

 

British Aikido Association Membership

Membership to the B.A.A. is expected within a month from starting and unfortunately you will not be able to continue training without it.

B.A.A. membership is required:

  • To be be covered by insurance for training
  • To do gradings (promotional examinations)
  • To take part in national events

Equipment

  

After a few classes we recommend that you obtain a training  uniform or “Gi” for training. Wearing a Gi helps you make a mental and physical transition for training, is practical, and gives a sense of “FITTING IN” in sooner.

As you get more experienced, we can supply new uniforms, weapons and other equipment at very reduced prices.


Please ask instructors for details.

For those now starting, we offer a special package that includes your Gi, insurance and first months training fees at a discounted rate.
