Kurai Aikido promotes and teaches traditional Aikido with influences from the ‘Iwama’ style, in a friendly organisation, with thriving junior and senior sections.

Originally known as the EYJ School of Aikido, the organisation has been running for over 30 years, and enjoys very good relationships with senior Masters from many other Japanese and Chinese martial arts.

We have a high quality of teaching, under the guidence of our Sensei, Roy Sheppard 6th Dan, and all our instructors hold national coaching awards. The organisation is a member of the UK Shinwakai Association, and affiliated to the British Aikido Board (the national governing body).
