My 11 year old daughter has been going to this Aikido Academy since November 2008 and she loves every minute! The atmosphere is always positive,happy,reassuring and helpful.The teacher,Sensei Mark is an extremely good role model for his pupils. He manages to combine great teaching skills with kindness,frankness and humour.He is fair and gives the same maximum attention to each and every one of his students. I am very grateful to this academy for giving my daughter more confidence both in this wonderful martial art and in her daily life. I am also a much more confident parent knowing she is learning to defend herself in this not so forgiving society we live in. Thanks so much for such a truly worthwhile place for my child to learn.
