It literally means “the way (-do) of harmony (Ai-) through universal energy (-ki-)”. \n\n\n\nNicolas de Knoop\, Instructor\n\n\n\nNicolas de Knoop began studying Aikido in 1990 at Rhodes University\, South Africa.  \n\n\n\nHe achieved Iwama-Ryu Aikido dan grades in taijutsu (empty handed) and buki-waza (weapons) in 1996 & 1997 respectively\, through Dr. Paolo Corallini Shihan and Morihiro Saito Shihan.  \n\n\n\nNicolas currently holds a 4th Dan in Iwama Ryu Taijutsu (empty handed)\, Aiki Ken\, and Aiki Jo (weapons)\, is fully insured\, and a registered Aikido coach with the British Aikido Board (BAB). \n\n\n\nComing for the first time?\n\n\n\nPlease note: Aikido is a martial art which requires a certain level of fitness. If you have any health concerns\, please consult your doctor before coming to practice. Aikido involves wrist\, elbow\, shoulder\, lapel (etc) grabs and strikes\, and involves falls and joint locks. Every effort is made to ensure safe and enjoyable practice\, with a step by step approach geared to all levels of practitioners. If you have any concerns\, please get in touch. \n\n\n\nThe first lesson is free. \n\n\n\nForest Row – Tuesday Evening: Please arrive at the Village Hall (Peter Griffits) for 7.20 pm. Mats are laid out for a 7.30 pm start. \n\n\n\nIf you do not have a keiko-gi (training uniform)\, please wear comfortable but sturdy clothes\, e.g. track suit. \n\n\n\nMembership\, Insurance\, & Fees\n\n\n\nMembership\n\n\n\nForest Row: Upon expressing a wish to continue to practice after an initial training session you will be required to complete a “New Membership Application Form”. This form must be along with the annual insurance and registration fee of £30. Students under the age of 18 will require a parent or guardian to verify the application. \n\n\n\nInsurance\n\n\n\nIt is a requirement for all individuals who wish to train at TAFR that they have suitable insurance. When first joining there is a registration and insurance fee of £30\, which covers a practitioner for 1 year.  \n\n\n\nThereafter there insurance renewal is £20 per annum.
