Thanks for visiting our Aikido Images Gallery, where you will see dozens of interesting pictures from the Arun Aikido Club based in Bognor Regis, UK.

Tony Sensei and Ken were joined by Anthony Sensei and guest from the Bushinkan Martial Arts Association.

Of course all the students passed on this day, I always tried to make sure they were ready before offering them a test.

He moved back to Liverpool after a few years with us. He trains with Terry Ezra Sensei now.

Of course after this photo was taken I launched him through the air. He was glad to roll out of this application.

I was performing with the bokken (wooden sword), while my students showed the same movements unarmed.

We later hired the same hall and mats from this very nice gentleman for several months.

As You can see Robin, Edward and Natasha are all grown up and are now excellent Aikidoka. Also joined by Ian Upstone and Mary-Jayne Bosley.

Although from different arts we had many long conversations regarding the arts of Budo. John Sensei told me some amazing stories about his years of training and healing... He was very generous.

His classes were very relaxed as you can see from some of the students watching. Brian Sensei is an amazing teacher... very relaxed and natural.

He would say 'what do you want to practise' then would teach us fine details of our choices, we learnt a lot from him.

Sorry about the size of this picture :(

I was working on posture at the time and Robin had no choice but to work on flexibility.

They all passed... just! Robin Wilden, Ken Ryall and Julian Jessup.

Ken went on to become a full Instructor with us and was a very valuable asset to the Arun Aikido Club.

He had no favours from his father and went on to receive his Nidan 2nd Dan some years later and became Arun Club Instructor.

He was an asset to the Arun Aikido Club and was always there supporting us... amazing energy!

She was a great support and an example of what ladies can achieve in Aikido. She trained as hard as the lads, and on many occasions... hammered them.

Ken started later in life and trained hard with our students. People came, tried and left the club, it was too difficult for most of them. These four had grit and determination!
