JOIN A CLUB & REPRESENT THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Leeds Aikido Club offers men and women the chance to participate in this Japanese martial art.

The Club
The University of Leeds Aikido Club is a vibrant, friendly and social club, welcoming beginners to try out this Japanese martial art. Aikido does not focus on punching and kicking opponents. Instead, it focuses on using the opponent’s momentum to gain control of them, allowing you to either throw them away from you or move them into a hold.

Coaching Scholarships
The University of Leeds awards a number of scholarships to aspiring coaches to help improve the quality and quantity of coaching available to students in clubs. Working in conjunction with the Leeds Sport team and club committees it is an excellent opportunity for students to develop their skills and grow as a coach whilst at University.

The Coaching Scholarship is an exciting opportunity for current undergraduate or postgraduate students to rise to the challenge of coaching their fellow students alongside working with senior coaches and mentors to become a more effective coach as well as articulate the transferable skills coaching gives you in real-world situations. Ideally, candidates will have an NGB Level 1 or 2 or equivalent experience in their chosen sport and be looking to build on this whilst at University.

Applications for coaching scholarships for the forthcoming academic year are accepted from February to April.
