The first session is free so you can give our martial art a try, with no obligations!
Check out our beginners page for more information about what to expect.
No hidden cost or contract. We do it for the love of Aikido, not for money.
We train at the Clarendon & Westbury Community Centre in Dover, Kent
Tandoku Undo means “Individual practise”. In Tomiki/Shodokan aikido this commonly refers to Unsoku (foot movements) and Tegatana Dosa (Hand blade exercises).
At last night’s training, I was asked for some Youtube videos that would be a good reference. After sifting out some poor videos (with mistakes made such as keeping the heel off the ground), I settled on these two videos as good examples.
Unsoku (Sean Flynn)
Tegatana Dosa (Scott Allbright)
