Sussex Sport Aikido are hosting an inter-club meeting (friendly competition).

More detailed aims are:

  • To introduce the competition side of Aikido to beginners and Kyuu grades without any competition experience in a supportive and positive environment.
  • To encourage potential kyuu grades to participate in forthcoming national and international events and competitions.
  • Promote inter-club training for the members of the participating clubs. (Especially with the aim to form embu pairs and teams for national and international events.)
  • Help referees develop their skills in a relaxed environment.

Proposed date:

Saturday or Sunday (to be confirmed)

25th / 26th October

or

1st / 2nd November.

Proposed venue:

We hope that you would help make this event successful by encouraging all Kyuu grades to participate, as it should make for a very enjoyable day and a good first competition experience!
