# Aikido Shobukai Daleside Nottingham
Aikido Shobukai Daleside Nottingham is a martial arts dojo offering authentic Yoshinkan Aikido training in Nottingham. Led by Colin Hallahan, a 3rd Dan blackbelt with over three decades of martial arts experience, and assisted by his wife Malena (2nd Dan), the dojo provides instruction grounded in genuine Budo philosophy and disciplined practice.
The dojo serves individuals of all skill levels, from complete beginners to advanced practitioners seeking to deepen their technical mastery. Their approach emphasises education, exploration and achievement alongside practical self-defence capabilities. Rather than offering flashy shortcuts, Shobukai Aikido focuses on transforming both body and mind through structured training, building physical strength, mental resilience and a winning mindset applicable both in the dojo and everyday life.
What distinguishes this establishment is its lineage and credentials. Colin studied under Robert Mustard Sensei, an 8th Dan Yoshinkan Shihan, earning his 3rd Dan in 2014. The dojo maintains affiliation with the Aikido Shobukai UK association and the British Aikido Association, ensuring standards and authenticity. Their philosophy centres on creating a supportive, motivating environment where practitioners feel genuinely welcomed whilst being challenged to perfect their form and grasp techniques from a deeper, more disciplined perspective. This combination of serious martial arts instruction with inclusive community values sets them apart from generic fitness facilities.
