# Aikido Shobukai Daleside Nottingham
Aikido Shobukai Daleside Nottingham is a specialist martial arts dojo offering authentic Yoshinkan Aikido training in Nottingham. Led by Colin Hallahan (3rd Dan Blackbelt) and assisted by his wife Malena (2nd Dan Blackbelt), the dojo provides instruction across all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners seeking to refine their technique.
The business serves individuals of all ages and experience levels who wish to develop both physical and mental strength through traditional martial arts practice. Their philosophy centres on the concept of Budo – transforming body and mind into a place of physical and mental resilience whilst cultivating a winning mindset applicable both within and outside the dojo.
What sets Aikido Shobukai Daleside apart is their deliberately nurturing environment designed for motivation and support. Rather than focusing solely on combat effectiveness, they emphasise holistic personal development encompassing education, exploration, satisfaction, fun, achievement and fitness. Colin's extensive background – spanning karate, Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, and Yoshinkan Aikido under 8th Dan master Robert Mustard Sensei – ensures authentic, high-quality instruction grounded in established martial arts lineages.
The dojo is formally affiliated with Aikido Shobukai UK association and the British Aikido Association, providing students with recognised qualifications and connections to a wider community of practitioners. This combination of experienced leadership, supportive culture, and institutional credibility makes them a distinctive choice for serious aikido study in the East Midlands.
