What You Will Learn

These classes will provide you with an introduction to the art of Aikido. You will be guided through various exercises and techniques that are beneficial for fitness, balance, coordination, flexibility, relaxation and inner peace. The lessons will also show you how you can begin to integrate principles of unification and harmony into your life.

In these classes you will have many opportunities to experience ki, the subtle life force energy that pervades all things. The Aikido curriculum develops your understanding of ki, so that you may achieve greater health and well-being.

All of the principles are taught through the physical practice of the Martial aspects of Aikido with the central theme being “non violent conflict resolution”.

Our Dojo has had affiliation with the Ki Society Dojo in Japan for over twenty years and there are opportunities to learn with overseas instructors each year.

You may start the course at any time by phoning to arrange a meeting with the Senior Sensei at the dojo, who will discuss your commencement with you.
