We are a traditional full time academy, teaching the martial art of Aikido. We welcome your interest whether you are seeking to take up training in a martial art as a beginner, or you are an experienced martial artist looking to train with us.
What we offer at Shudokan Black Belt Academy

Children excel at the practice of martial arts. Through fun games and training we can help your child increase his or her self-confidence, build self-discipline and foster care and consideration for those around them.

Mick Mercer, 4th Dan, is the chief instructor at the Preston Dojo and holds the nationally recognised Coach Level 1 qualification with the British Aikido Board.

Aikido is a martial art and as such has a self defence application. However, it is fair to say that it takes a period of time to become proficient at the techniques and to become confident enough to use them in a practical situation.

We will be holding a TASTER session for our forthcoming Aiki Lifestyle program. The taster session will take place on Thursday 19 April at 7:30 and is FREE. Aiki Lifestyle is aimed at those who want to practice aikido but do not want the high impact aspects such as falling. This will be very much a "go at your own pace" session and is ideal for the older generation and the less physically fit. If you want to know more or wish to book a place please give us a call.
