About Melbourne University Aikido Club
Melbourne University Aikido Club is a student-run martial arts club training the Japanese art of Aikido on campus in Parkville. Aikido is a defensive discipline that emphasises blending with and redirecting an attacker's energy rather than meeting force with force, making it a practice as much about awareness, balance and composure as physical technique.
Sessions run several times a week at the University's Nona Lee Sports Centre, including dedicated weapons training, with additional classes held at the RMIT city campus. The club welcomes newcomers warmly and offers a free trial so beginners can step onto the mat and try the art before committing, with no prior experience needed.
Whether you're a student looking for a focused, low-impact way to stay active, or someone in the Parkville area drawn to traditional martial arts, the club offers a structured environment to build technique from the fundamentals upward. Training alongside more experienced members provides plenty of guidance, and the supportive, open atmosphere makes it approachable for those who have never tried a martial art before.
