Courses 2026

Please note - Courses listed here are courses either hosted or co-hosted by Cambridgeaikidojo or courses members of our dojo are likely to attend, either because they are organised by the KAA or because they are in the vicinity of Cambridge. Unless otherwise stated, the courses listed on this page are open to everyone , regardless of grade or experience. It doesn't matter if you have been doing aikido for 10 weeks or 10 years, you can still learn something at a course, and your abilities will be taken into account by everyone you train with there. Practising with lots of different aikidoka will introduce you to endless nuances of this martial art, and it is always good to learn from other sensei

Always take your aikido association membership book or other proof of membership/insurance. Get in touch if interested in going
