The Fudokai Aikido Dojo practices a traditional Ueshiba form of Aikido in Norwich, Norfolk, UK.

Our teaching is based around the premise that the techniques of Aikido are not an end in themselves but exist to teach and practice the principles underlying Aikido.

The Fudokai Aikido Dojo is a member of Shobu Aikido UK and thereby also a member of the British Aikido Board - the body recognised by the Sports Council for the administration of Aikido in the UK.

In-memoriam

With the unfortunate death of John Tidder sensei , the Fudokai Aikido Dojo has taken over the mantle of the Norwich Aikido Club and any old links to the Norwich Aikido Club website will be directed here. The Norwich Aikido Club and the Fudokai Aikido Dojo ran as a partner clubs in Norwich and it is only fitting that we take over where John left off.

The current situation

I regret to say that, following John's death, the loss of the St. Barnabas hall venue and my current employment situation, I find that much of my enthusiasm for the running of a club has waned - at least for the moment. I'm still happy to train in and teach Aikido so I'm keeping the monday evening session at the Bob Carter Centre going for myself and the existing students.

I'm not actively seeking new students but, if you are interested, drop me an email. I don't want to disrupt the training of the current students so I'm going to put new students through a probationary period to ensure compatability before accepting them into the club.
