Due to COVID19 restrictions, UKA's Winter School this year will be an online event. 2020 has brought us many surprises, but we are staying positive in hope to see the restrictions to ease in the very near future. With the latest government announcement, it will be very soon before we meet our fellow aikidokas and instructors on the mat again. For now, we focus on brushing up on our weapons mastery with Sensei Eddie McCalla and exchanging in an Aikido Discussion with Sensei Janet Clift and Sensei Cath Davies. The event is free of charge. Please see our timetable:
