Nicole has been studying Aikido for over 18 years. She was a member of the British National Squad for 12 years and has retired (sort of) to take on the role of Sports Development Officer for the BAA. She has been responsible for running all our National Aikido Competitions for the British Aikido Association for over 6 years. A qualified teacher with QTS and a degree in physical movement, Nicole's teaching style is often explorative, where students are challenged to develop their own skills and find how to optimise their own style to make Aikido effective for themselves.
