Dojo Evening Aikido

What Makes This Session Special

Arrive at the dojo and step into a welcoming space where everyone trains together. This evening aikido session focuses on co-operative partner work, flowing movements and safe ukemi practice. Beginners receive guidance while experienced participants refine their technique alongside them. The atmosphere stays relaxed yet focused, suiting adults and younger practitioners alike who want steady progress without competition.

The group meets every Monday evening in Grey Lynn. Sessions follow a consistent structure that begins with warm-up exercises, moves into core aikido techniques, and finishes with weapons familiarisation using bokken or jo when appropriate. Everyone works at their own level, making the class suitable for complete newcomers and long-term students returning after a break.

• Partner drills that build timing and balance
• Core aikido throws and pins practised safely
• Basic weapons handling with bokken and jo
• Breathing and posture exercises to finish
• Supportive environment for all ages and abilities
• Opportunity to train regularly with the same group

Visitors are welcome to join without membership, so anyone curious about aikido can simply turn up and participate.
