Aikido Derby Description
AIKIDO DERBY was established in April 2006, but under the name of Mickleover Aikido Club, by Jason Hunt sensei.
Back then, we were members of the Aikido Union England, with Mr Chris McDonald sensei (6th dan) as Senior Instructor and Mr Pat Stratford sensei (8th dan) as Director.
Mickleover Aikido Club held classes at the Vicarage Road Pavillion, which was a fairly new building in Mickleover, on a saturday morning, and a sunday evening. The club officially opened on saturday 29th April, 2006 by Mr McDonald, whom kindly demonstrated aikido to a large crowd of spectators There were junior and senior classes held on both days, with the saturday class eventually stopping, leaving the club with just the sunday evening classes running. In 2010 we decided to move to the Derby City Centre, which is where we are still based, and are still running the classes on sunday evenings
Instruction is by Jason Hunt sensei (shodan), with assistance from fellow yudansha and kenshusei
We are a DOJO of KYUSHINKAN, whose main DOJO is based in Leicester, under the instruction of Mr Peter Brown Sensei (6th dan so hombu) Shidoin and House Principal. KYUSHINKAN is a House of the United Kingdom Aikikai (UKA) and as such, all instruction and gradings are recognised by the Aikikai Hombu Dojo, Japan
Courses are regularly held at Aikido Derby by Mr Brown and also by Mr Kevan Ginns Sensei, who is one of KYUSHINKAN’s Shidoin.

Ikuhiro Kubota Shihan 8th Dan Aikikai Course held at Malaysia Aikido Association
We had a very warm and sunny class tonight, so plenty of fluids on board. We looked at Tesabaki and Taisabaki, as usual, but also the importance of Atemi and remaining Martial when practicing (Let's remember we are practicing a martial art after all). A really big thank you to everyone who came along and supported the club 8)

Helping to share aikido through friendship
Great place to be for kids and adults. Amazing opportunity to learn self defense techniques. Every child gets individual support to make sure techniques applied correctly. Very clear explanation of different techniques and great support from Sensei and other team members. Will recommend for others to join and enjoy great time as also learn Aikido �
