Riley Sensei will be teaching the course whilst gradings take place at the side of the mat. The course will start at 11am and will finish at 4pm, the usual costs will apply. If you are unsure where to go or require directions, do not hesitate to email us and we will help you in anyway we can.

Henka Waza

I have been informed by Riley Sensei that the second White Rose DVD is due for release at the end of March. Whilst the first DVD focussed on MA-AI its successor is focussing on the ability to adapt in a conflict. The DVD will be entitled 'Henka Waza - The Art of Change'. The price for the DVD is currently to be arranged but as soon as further information is available it will be posted here.

Memberships

Just a quick reminder that memberships are due at the end of the month. If your membership is not valid then you do not have valid insurance and as such will be unable to train until it is rectified. If you are not sure who you need to speak to regarding memberships, please ask your club instructor or feel free to email us

The Early Days of White Rose

From now on each month I will be showing a historic photo of the early days of White Rose Aikido. The photos shown wll range from the early 1980s to the present day. The first photo up is one of Riley Sensei taking ukemi for John Middleham Sensei at the Aikido Research Federation course in June 1985
