LEAD Instructor

Sensei Raj Soren
2nd Dan

I enjoy teaching juniors and seniors. Seeing the children's enthusiasm is wonderful, especially when they learn about Ken and Jo.

It's great to see young minds develop, build confidence and grow as talented Aikido students. The club takes students from the age of ten onwards.

We are patient with the children and focus on fun and learning. I have over 35 years of experience teaching martial arts to children and adults. I am also a 6th Dan in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Blue Belt in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu

ASSISTANT INSTRUCTORS

Sensei Thomas Mangin
1st Dan

I do my utmost to give each student what they need to progress while ensuring everyone has a good time.

When time allows off-mat, I love to share my passion for the fine details of the techniques and explain the physical principles which underpin them to help students review their progress unsupervised.

Sensei Peter Hollings
1st Kyu

I enjoy teaching with everyone while also working toward my 1st Dan
