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

Now it's all been farmed out to private insurance companies it's all...

The BAB's requirements for coach have changed and you now only need to be Aikido 1st Kyu - previously this was 1st Dan - to be a coach.
Any member of 1st Kyu or above who does not yet have a Coach Level 1 award should seriously think about attending this or another course.
To fully qualify as an Aikido instructor you will also need a First Aid...
