I have been studying martial arts for around 35 years starting off with karate, I then moved onto Aikido after it was introduced to our Dojo around 1976 in Kent by our Sensei.
I now hold the grade of Nidan (2nd Dan) in the listed and practised martial arts.
Junior and beginners classes are held for under 16's first and are followed by our Seniors and Adult classes.
I hold a beginners class on a regular by-monthly basis for both groups of students.No kit is required until a membership form and monthly Direct Debit form have been agreed and completed.

Ian Sensei.
One-to-one lessons
Group Classes
Beginners Introductory Course
A basic introduction to Aikido for all those that wish to improve balance co-ordination and grow an awareness of your surroundings.
I can also help you get a little fitter and gain your self confidence as your knowledge grows.
Friday is Aikido night.
Our Aikido is of the traditional flowing type and covers all the main fundamental moves as used by many senior Japanese Sensei, These have been passed down through the years and in some cases improved on to make our practice faster and more flowing.
Our practice also includes Bokken and Jo for our senior students ( Adults).
Aikido is of particular importance for older students that wish for a more graceful martial art.
I feel that it is also benefecial to girls and women, As size and body weight are not an important factor within Aikido.
NEW STUDENTS ALWAYS WELCOME!.
Experience
CRB, and NVQ
Apart from my awarded Dan grades, I also hold the two items above.
I have been teaching Juniors for some 30 years if you include my time as a Boys Brigade Officer.
I am at present teaching a group of Juniors from 8 to 13 years of age and the regular classes cover the four main Martial Arts disciplines as listed elsewhere on my site.
Sensei for all our disciplines
During our summer months we will be training outside of the Dojo on our grassy area, I will also include some weapons within our normal class times as listed on this site.
I also hold outside events for demonstration of our arts during the summer months, Most of these are in the form of local fun days or something similar. There is one that is held at our Dojo location during the month of August, This date will be confirmed nearer the time.
We also like to add our up to date photos to our Blog Site at http://senseiianbates.wordpress.com
