About Griffith Aikido Institute

Griffith Aikido Institute is a long-running aikido dojo in Upper Mount Gravatt, where students of all ages and backgrounds come to learn the Japanese martial art of harmony and self-defence. Aikido here is taught not just as physical technique but as a path towards calmness, confidence and awareness, making it a distinctive alternative to more combative or high-intensity training.

The dojo prides itself on a genuinely friendly environment, and that warmth comes through strongly in member feedback. One long-time student who has trained across several clubs over two decades describes feeling welcomed from the very first moment on the mat, and rates the group of instructors and fellow students among the best they have encountered. With many years of collective experience on the mat, newcomers are well supported as they learn the fundamentals.

This is a club for people drawn to a thoughtful, technique-rich martial art, whether you are completely new to aikido or returning after time away. Aikido welcomes all ages, genders, backgrounds and fitness levels, so you do not need to arrive fit or experienced. For locals in Upper Mount Gravatt seeking self-defence skills alongside focus and a supportive community, Griffith Aikido Institute offers a welcoming place to start.
