Takemusu Aikido Forest Row

Takemusu Aikido Forest Row is a not-for-profit club, and has been dedicated to weekly traditional Aikido practice since 2009. Classes are suitable for both men and women aged 16 and over. Students are taught in the Iwama-Ryu pedagogy after Morihiro Saito Shihan, and under the guidance of Dr. Paolo Corallini Shihan. This means that there is a balanced emphasis on Buki Waza (weapons techniques) and Taijutsu (body techniques), as well as a strong focus on basic techniques and their detailed application. What is Aikido? Aikido is a Japanese martial art, or Budo, created by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). It literally means “the way (-do) of harmony (Ai-) through universal energy (-ki-)”. Nicolas de Knoop, Instructor Nicolas de Knoop began studying Aikido in 1990 at Rhodes University, South Africa. He achieved Iwama-Ryu Aikido dan grades in taijutsu (empty handed) and buki-waza (weapons) in 1996 & 1997 respectively, through Dr. Paolo Corallini Shihan and Morihiro Saito Shihan. Nicolas currently holds a 4th Dan in Iwama Ryu Taijutsu (empty handed), Aiki Ken, and Aiki Jo (weapons), is fully insured, and a registered Aikido coach with the British Aikido Board (BAB). Coming for the first time? Please note: Aikido is a martial art which requires a certain level of fitness. If you have any health concerns, please consult your doctor before coming to practice. Aikido involves wrist, elbow, shoulder, lapel (etc) grabs and strikes, and involves falls and joint locks.

Singing Mamas Forest Row

Singing Mamas sessions are a space where all women, no matter their singing skill, can come together in a supportive community. Whether you’ve sung for years or feel a bit hesitant, our relaxed environment welcomes you and your little ones to connect, sing, and find joy in shared melodies. No auditions, no solos, just a community coming together in song! More info: https://forestrowvillagehall.org/organiser/singing-mamas/ https://www.singingmamas.org/ What To Expect Community Connection: A warm, welcoming space where you can connect with other local women and share experiences. Guided Singing: Our sessions are tailored to every level. You’ll be introduced to simple songs taught by ear, ensuring everyone can participate, regardless of prior singing experience. Child-Friendly: We understand the demands of motherhood. Feel free to bring your little ones along. We foster a family-friendly environment where kids are part of the joy. Supportive Atmosphere: Nervous about singing in a group or worried you’re not ‘good enough’? Don’t be. Our main goal is to uplift each other and find joy in the process, not to perform perfectly. Refreshment Break: We always make time for a little break, allowing you to relax, chat with fellow mamas, and enjoy some refreshments. Benefits Inclusive Environment: Being part of a group where everyone is welcome, regardless of singing ability or experience, boosts confidence and self-worth.
