About Us
There are 3 Aikido Yuishinkai clubs in Aberdeen which are all part of the same organisation, Takagashirakai. For students / staff at The Unversity of Aberdeen we have the AU Club, for students / staff at The Robert Gordon University we have the RGU Club and for everyone else we have what we refer to as the Town Club.
The AU Club
