Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a CxEM Espronceda membership?

No. Anyone can sign up at the general fee, which covers every space. If you already hold a membership of the complex, you can pay the members' fee instead, which covers this space's classes only.

How do I find the room?

Classes are held in the sports complex's tatami room. Go in from Calle de Espronceda; the access page has the plan with the entrance marked. Allow extra time on your first visit.

How is it different from the class at the University of Barcelona?

The UB class is for beginners, at 19:00. The CxEM Espronceda class is for all levels, at 20:00. Same programme, same gradings, and the fee covers both.

Can I also train in Badalona?

Yes. The fee covers all our spaces, and the Badalona dojo has aikido Tuesday to Saturday, mornings and evenings.

Is there a class for under-12s?

Not here: this class is from age 12. Up to age 16 there is a class of its own at the Marina-Besòs sports centre in Sant Adrià de Besòs, on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.
