The OAA is a traditional aikido association. Founded in 1990, in 2002 as part of Kobayashi Dojos UK we were honoured to be appointed as official UK representatives of Aikido Kobayashi Dojos, Japan.  Kobayashi Dojos UK now have dojos in London and the South West of England.

We follow the Aikido Kobayashi Dojos syllabus and style  - combining fun with good, hard practice.

Our Yudansha gradings are held annually under the direction of Hiroaki Kobayashi Sensei, 6th Dan. As part of the Kobayashi Dojos extended family, we hold regular international seminars and welcome visiting aikidoka from all around the world and from many styles.
