Terms & Conditions of Training

1. Membership & Bookings

All students must have a valid annual membership and training insurance after their initial guest class.
Monthly memberships are payable in advance and are non-refundable.
Cancellations for guest classes or seminars must be made at least 24 hours in advance to be eligible for a credit or refund.

2. Health & Safety

Students must provide a self-declaration of fitness before training. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of any changes in health or new injuries.
Aikido is a physical discipline involving contact, joint locks, and falls. While we maintain the highest safety standards, students participate at their own risk.

3. Code of Conduct

Traditional dojo etiquette must be observed at all times. This includes punctuality, cleanliness of the uniform (gi), and respect for instructors and fellow practitioners.
The instructor reserves the right to refuse training to anyone who behaves in a way that is dangerous, disrespectful, or disruptive to the harmony of the dojo.

4. Concessions

Concessionary rates are granted at the discretion of the Head Instructor and are subject to periodic review. Proof of eligibility (e.g., Student ID) may be requested.

5. Photography & Media

From time to time, photos or videos may be taken during classes for promotional use on our website or social media. If you do not wish to be included, please notify the instructor in writing at office@kinonagare.uk.

6. Changes to Schedule

While we aim to maintain a consistent schedule, Ki No Nagare Aikikai UK reserves the right to change class times or venues (e.g., moving between Mayfair and Chelsea) with reasonable notice.
