About us
Hallamshire Aikido Club was opened back in 1994 by it's first instructor Steven
Newton. The first venue was Pond Forge Sports Centre in the heart of Sheffield
but after a few years the club moved to the Waltheof Sports
Centre. After 11 years there, the club now has a permanant home at the Sheffield Springs Academy (on the site of the old Myrtle Springs School) For directions to the
