Who does aikido?
Men and women of ages 4yrs to 70+yrs practice Aikido around the world. Doctors, engineers, students, police trainers, prison guards, and housewives all belong to Kokikai Aikido International.
How do I get started?
You can contact one of our instructors, or just turn up at a scheduled class. For a cost-effective start to your training, we also have beginner packages for adults.
What should I do before I arrive?
Have a good read through our website, especially the Beginners section. It contains lots of useful ideas.
What should I expect when I get there?
On your first visit, you are welcome either to sit and watch or to jump on the mats straight away.
Our instructors and senior students will help you through the basics of warming up, exercises, and techniques.
What should I wear?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Keep in mind that clothing is occasionally damaged in training, so don't wear your favourite or most expensive outfit!
Long trousers are recommended to prevent mat burns on your knees.
Martial arts uniforms are well designed to handle the demands of training, so if you have one, feel free to wear it.
We sell aikido uniforms (gi) and Aikido Kokikai Australia badges at the dojo, please ask us if you want to buy one.
What should I bring?
Be sure to bring a hand towel and a water bottle, as well as any other items you would normally bring with you for strenuous exercise (eg. asthma medication, knee brace, etc.)
What equipment will I need to purchase?
Once you sign up, it is recommended that you purchase a gi (uniform). Eventually you will also want a set of weapons.
Speak to your instructor for pricing and availability.
