Good Dojo in Cumbernauld? (Scotland)

Hi all,

I registered here just to ask if any one knows any good Dojo in Cumbernauld, that is a town close to Glasgow, Scotland.

I am looking for the martial art of Aikido, not the franchised political demos of the art

Any help is most appreciated.

Travel into Glasgow and attend Makotokai Dojo, started by the late Slim Coyle
NO POLITICS JUST PURE AIKIDO.

 

Yeah i agree. Koyo was one of the best aikidoka in the UK and trained with some pretty amazing people.
if i was to train aikido anyway it would be with his old club.

 

Thanks for the advice, I checked the website, unfortunately the times and days do not suit me. Since I am living and working in Cumbernauld I was hoping to find a dojo here.

Try the British Birankai website - from memory they have a dojo in Cumbernauld

 

there's a club in Chryston near Cumbernauid.

the instructor's credentials seem pretty solid. I don't know anything about him or the club personally though.

 

Thanks philipsmith and Sore Knees, will check these out.
