Malvern Aikido began in the early 1990s, and was a member of the British Ki Aikido Association (BKAA) - which no longer exists.
 
In 2013 we became affiliated to the British Aikido Federation (BAF), a founder body of the Joint Aikikai Council (JAC) with a further affiliation to the International Aikido Federation (IAF) with direct links to the Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan.
 
Club members benefit from high-level technical support and instruction from leading aikido practitioners in the UK and master teachers from Japan at special events such as the annual BAF Summer School
