COVID-19 Update

Due to the rapidly evolving situation with COVID-19 and the latest advice from the Ministry of Health, Aikido Tenshindo has decided to suspend all aikido classes until further notice. The safety and wellbeing of our aikido practitioners is our first and foremost priority.

We are closely monitoring the progress of recent events and will inform you once a decision has been made to resume training at our dojo. Please continue to visit our website for the latest updates on restating our classes, and other club information. We hope to see you back on the mat soon.
