Lancaster Aikido Club is a not-for-profit martial arts club which has been teaching martial arts in Lancaster since 1976. We train in a friendly atmosphere, focusing on daily practice of Aikido as a pragmatic and functional martial art for self-defence, while endeavouring never to lose sight of its ultimate aim: the cultivation of human beings capable of sharing a peaceful world. Aikido is just as applicable to our daily lives, in our relationships with our family, communication with friends and work colleagues, and most importantly our relation with ourselves, as it is to a situation requiring self-defence. Training will develop you physically and mentally, but neither great strength nor high levels of fitness are required to begin. Wellbeing is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, and our goal is to assist in your development; providing encouragement, education, and emotional support throughout the collaborative learning process. Aikido 'toughens the body and polishes the spirit'. Aikido is available to all ages and many lifetime practitioners continue to train into their 70s or 80s. We have senior practitioners training regularly at Lancaster who did not begin training until their 40s. We are affiliated with the Aikikai Hombu Dojo (Japan) and a network of Dojos in Europe (Traditional Aikido Europe) through Lewis Bernaldo de Quiros (6th Dan) who serves as Technical Director and Examiner granting Aikikai dan ranks according to Hombu regulations.

Belief – We firmly believe that all schools have a duty to their children to develop their fundamental movement skills, whilst providing a fun and engaging environment and to ensure that every child leaves primary school physically literate. Aim – Recent studies have proven that a healthy body is a healthy mind and regular physical activity increases concentration, motivation and ultimately academic performance. Allied to this, we aim to educate children on the importance of physical activity and give teachers the knowledge and expertise to deliver engaging lessons so every child has a positive experience of P.E in their school. Objective – Our principle objective is to give all children a platform in which to realise their sporting potential in a safe and competitive environment, whilst inspiring them to remain active throughout their life. We provide children with the tools that will allow them to not only thrive academically and in sport but also socially, developing their life skills such as communication, listening, problem solving, leadership and decision making. Hassle Free – ProStars pride themselves on being hassle free. This means that you will consistently have the same coach throughout the year. This is not only important for child development but they will understand the schools policies, procedures and the day to day running of the school to ensure everything runs smoothly. We’ve never cancelled a session – On the rare occasion your coach is absent we will instantly find a replacement. The replacement coach will be of equal quality, briefed on policies and procedures, class management, how the day is run, know what the children have previously been learning and what they need to learn that lesson. We are local –We are based in The Dean Academy, Lydney and use local coaches that have been developed through our BTEC and HND programme. We are in daily contact with our team of coaches to ensure that all planning and assessments are done to the highest standard. We are also a very close group of colleges with immense job satisfaction and therefore have a very low turnover of staff, ensuring that you get consistency throughout each year. Staff qualifications – Not only do all P.E specialists have a degree or are working towards a degree in sports coaching and development, they also hold at least a level 2 coaching qualification in their chosen sport. Alongside this, they have undergone an enhanced DBS check, first aid, safeguard and child protection training. We won’t be beaten on price – We understand that schools in the local area come in different sizes and budgets can be tight, therefore we can tailor packages that suit each individual school. Why use ProStars? Where it has been reported that the general health and ability of children is in decline nationally we have seen a rise in the ability of children our coaches are regularly working with. When schools work with ProStars, they are able to offer a high standard of P.E that fits the curriculum expectations. With this they also receive planning, evaluations and assessments carried out by qualified and experienced P.E specialists. Schools are also able to offer more after school and lunchtime clubs, sport leadership awards, enter and run more tournaments which will benefit your OFSTED inspection and healthy schools award.
