On completion of the course, students will be given the opportunity to be tested at an internationally recognised level. Full attendance is strongly encouraged but not mandatory. The Aikido Weapons course is included as an optional part of this course, at no additional cost. (Course duration: 4-8 weeks (2 classes of 2hrs per week)
