About

Sensei Jess Hilliam, a dedicated and experienced instructor, is committed to providing high-quality training in Aikido to students of all levels. The dojo encourages a friendly and supportive learning environment, where students can develop their self-defence skills, improve physical fitness, and build confidence.
At Lucky Dog Dojo, students can learn the art of Aikido, a Japanese martial art that focuses on self-defence techniques involving throws, joint locks, and pins. Aikido emphasizes blending with an opponent's energy to neutralize attacks, making it an effective martial art for self-defence without relying on brute force.
The closure of Denman Fitness has led to Lucky Dog Dojo welcoming new students and instructors to join their community. The school is dedicated to fostering a sense of teamwork, respect, and discipline among its members. Whether you are a beginner looking to start your martial arts journey or an experienced practitioner seeking to enhance your skills, Lucky Dog Dojo Aikido offers a welcoming space for all individuals interested in self-defence training.
