I have now been attending my Aikido classes since November and have recently gotten my 5th Kyu level. I am now currently working towards the 4th Kyu and have been given great support by our Sensei Martin Acton who instills a very much 'can do' attitude in our classes. Each class we are learning something new from the basics right up to the high level, which gives you a great sense of what is yet to come. Everyone in the class is very supportive of one another with a pressure free atmosphere where you can learn at your own pace yet get results with our fantastic teacher:) However in each class we just have good fun learning important skills that will stand to us in the future, where at the end of each session you leave in good form, thank you Sensei:) I started the Aikido course back in November with the 8 week course. I found everyone very welcoming and Martin was very encouraging from the start. The fact that I was a complete beginner to Aikido made no difference to enjoying the class, as everyone made you feel apart of the group right from the start. Martin is very patient and you immediately feel at ease when learning the movements as he instills a sense in you that you are well able to try something more challenging. However I think what is most important about the Aikido classes is that you feel your spirits are lifted and you are always in good form leaving the class:)
I can say that it is difficult to find a good Sensei and even more difficult to find a great Sensei like Martin Acton that with his experience and skills will make that any practitioner regardless of the age develop its skill from novice to expert. At home, we know how good martial arts are for building up confidence, discipline and self-control. At Martin Acton's Aikido Institute our 11 years old son found a place where he can develop all those skills and more in a friendly, cooperative, inspiring and safe environment. For these reasons and more we highly recommend MartinActon's Aikido Institute.
Sensei Martin's dojo is a special place. An oasis of peace in a chaotic world. If you want to better yourself, have fun and learn a traditional Japanese martial art from an authentic Sensei then this is the place for you! In just a few weeks of coming here I already feel more confident and relaxed every time I train with Sensei Martin. Every class you learn something new and have fun doing it. Come along and give it a go! Richard.
Myself and my daughter have been coming here for a few weeks now. We are both really enjoying it and learning new skills. Martin is friendly and helpful and we have fun here while learning aikido. I would recommend it to anyone to increase your confidence and learn a worthwhile skill.
I cant recommend Martin Actons Aikido classes highly enough! It is a very welcoming and friendly environment. Everyone Ive met there are extremely helpful. Martin is a very positive and patient teacher!!Having studied other martial arts elsewhere I can honestly say Ive not experienced such professionalism. Both my young boys took Martins classes after school and thoroughly enjoyed them, moreover I feel that they learnt a lot from the Aikido discipline. There is a lot more to be gained at this dojo than a martial art which can be transferred into your everyday life. If its something that interests you, just do it! Youll not regret it!!!
