Martial Arts are available at Aston through the Athletic Union Clubs. The clubs meet in the new studios at the Doug Ellis Woodcock Sports Centre during term time. We currently have AU clubs for Akido, Tai-kwon do, Jitsu, MMA and Thai Boxing.

Why not come along to these sessions and meet the club and their instructors - even if you are an absolute beginner. Not only do martial arts strengthen the body - but also the mind giving you the tools you need to excell in your studies. Most martial arts charge a weekly training fee.

Akido currently train in the new Martial Arts studios at the Doug Ellis Woodcock Sports Centre on Tuesdays 20:30 to 21:30. Please contact Mark Peckett for more information about Akido.

Please contact the Student Activities Officer in the Guild (guild.activities@aston.ac.uk) for the clubs training schedule and more information about these student martial arts clubs.
