Huddersfield Sports Aikido is a not-for-profit martial arts club
Our mission is to train our students in effective Aikido.
As our Sensei says: There is no Aikido, unless it's effective Aikido. It's not a dance, it's a Martial Art.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our great Sensei Leo Smalle at home yesterday morning.
Our thoughts, love and prayers are with Yvette, Natuley & Nathan at this most difficult time.
Roshi was one of the warmest, kindest, most compassionate teachers - who touched the lives of so many people over the years...
We will never forget his smile, his laughter and his willingness to help and teach others...
Your legacy will never be forgotten and we will all carry your torch brightly... Scotthall Aikido forever...
Forever in our hearts and minds... we love you Roshi....
🥰
We encourage you all to share your thoughts, messages, memories and photos at our facebook memorial page Leo "Roshi" Smalle Memorial here and we will make sure to pass them on to the Smalle family.
UPDATE
We just wanted to give a club update to all.
In light of recently updated Government advice, we must sadly announce that we are going to have to suspend classes in Leeds and Huddersfield with immediate effect.
We think it would be sensible to close classes until after the Easter school holidays.
We hope to be able to re-open classes at that time.
We will continue to monitoring events closely and give further updates as necessary.

Scotthall Aikido on tour for our final Yoshiomi Inoue Sensei Seminar this March. Great fun learning and practising with all who attended. Big thank you to Sensei Shaun Hoddy and his club for putting on the Seminar this weekend
Pleased to say that the North of the River Seminar with Yoshiomi Inoue Sensei was a great success despite the covid 19 outbreak. Hopefully we can do the same next March.
