A big thanks to William Timms for organising and heading this year’s Institute of Aikido Instructors course and Dan grading event.

I had the opportunity to try out for my 2nd Dan, which, as luck would have it, I was awarded. Congrats go to James Collins, who was also awarded his 2nd Dan. A big thanks to John Kingsbury for his patience and help in trying to smooth off my rough edges and, of course, a massive thank you to Terry and Iain for all your hard work; not only being the uke for the day (hard enough as that is), but also in helping me through the syllabus. Without you two, I wouldn’t have had a chance.

IOA Instructors course and Dan grading Sat 11 & Sun 12 April 2026. I'll be a fun day.

Join Liviu Iordache Sensei (5th Dan) for this summers 'Aikido Friendship Seminar', a great opportunity to train, connect and deepen your practice in a welcoming and supportive environment.
