Great Aikido club. I just started earlier this year, and I was warmly welcomed. Sensei Firestone is a great teacher, patient but keen to help students progress. Great mix of friendly and helpful black belts and lower grades. Classes at Kelvin hall are Wednesday and Sunday evenings. Wednesdays tend to be focused on technique development, while Sundays often feature more weapon practice. Definitely recommend Aikido to anyone interested in a martial art focused on tradition, technique, and self development, rather than direct competition.

P. S.

I have been practicing Aikido for around 8 years, however I am only a fairly new member to Sensei Firestone's Aikido class. My previous Aikido practice in Castlemilk closed down where I was taught by Sensei Ede who is a great teacher. Thankfully Sensei Firestone gave me the opportunity to continue my Aikido by joining his class in Kelvin Hall on a night that I can regularly make. I have been made to feel most welcome by Sensei Firestone and all at the club. The Aikido practice is to a high standard with a mix of students at different levels. Everyone demonstrates a willingness to develop their Aikido and are very patient with me even at times when my techniques take time to get right in practice. I love Aikido and what it gives me in life. It improves my physical and mental wellbeing. Gives me more confidence. The power of Aikido is extraordinary. When you are a ukah working with a partner, you feel the power from standing to hitting the mat. You feel this power in different levels, when practicing with different partners, depending on everyone's level. It is also a great feeling when I get an Aikido Technique correct. You might not get them right all the time, but even if it is once only in a class, it is worth coming to get the feeling of delivering an accurate Aikido Technique with power. This is really interesting and makes me want to come back for more and to improve my level. From the Aikido practices I have had at Kelvin Hall, it is clear Sensei Firestone has been studying this Martial Art with dedication for years as his high skilful ability shines through. I would highly recommend Aikido to anyone. It has improved my life in a positive way and I will continue to practice Aikido for the rest of my life. Many thanks Sensei and to all in the Aikido wider group. Kind regards, Paul Sorrie

I have been training with this club for nearly six months now, having previously practiced aikido for four years before moving to Glasgow. It's a great club and a very friendly organisation; I felt welcomed by sensei Richard and everyone in the club from when I first visited them. The style of aikido they practice is a little different to what I had experienced previously, but that has come with new insights into the art and I think they can offer something different and refreshing to everyone in the aikido sphere, not just newcomers to the art. You should definitely visit and give it a go.

The environment is light-hearted, polite and friendly. Everyone has a good laugh and is trained carefully whilst showing respect. The teacher is extremely knowledgeable, patient and eager to teach new students. Class consists of warm ups followed by breaking down into smaller groups each led by a high grade student who can demonstrate the techniques shown by sensei at the front of the class in one to one basis.

I was here for the gym actually. So good to be back, thank you.

It is incredibly fascinating what is going on there, so we can become the best version of ourselves -truly in control of our minds and bodies ( something I was not quite managing prior to my enrollment)
