Which Type of Isshinkai Membership?

Click the button for the type of Membership that suits your participation.

Adult Membership £35

This is for people resident in the UK, over the age of 18, and practising either through Virtual Dojo Sessions and Live Sessions online or at one of our physical dojos, or for those just attending seminars or courses. New Members are invited to join, so get in touch if you’re interested. You could think of Membership as a kind of licence that gives access to a number of benefits including eligibility for Isshinkai club membership, registration, grading, a name board at our headquarters dojo, Isshinkan. Most importantly, it’s a prerequisite to having a “Sensei”, a person qualified to look out for you on your journey, answer your questions, lead you forwards beyond your current horizons and consider your development and well-being as you progress. Each Member is the protagonist of her or his own journey, and it is always “up to you”. Having a good Sensei is like having a powerful ally who will let you learn, and help if asked. Don’t forget to ask.

For children between 5 and 12 attending Isshinkai Childrens classes. Must be set up by a Parent or Guardian.

Youth Membership £25

Teacher Membership

This is a membership exclusively for Isshinkai authorised Teachers; leading a class, club or Dojo within Isshinkai. Isshinkai Teachers start training after several years of Aikido training within Isshinkai. Isshinkai Teacher’s Training is an extensive formation in most cases taking upwards of 2 years to complete. A Teacher in Training may already be leading a Dojo and teaching regularly. A fully qualified Isshinkai Teacher has passed one of, if not the most, extensive and in-depth courses in Aikido.
