About National Aikido Federation - ANU
The National Aikido Federation's Canberra dojo offers traditional Aikido training at the Australian National University's sport and recreation centre. Aikido is a Japanese martial art focused on blending with and redirecting an attacker's energy rather than meeting force with force, developing balance, awareness and calm under pressure.
The club draws on a respected lineage and runs regular classes alongside dedicated beginners courses, making it approachable for newcomers while still offering depth for ongoing students. Training emphasises technique, etiquette and steady progression rather than competition, suiting people who want a thoughtful, lifelong practice.
Visitors and travelling aikidoka are warmly welcomed, reflecting the open, community-minded spirit of the dojo. For Canberra residents curious about martial arts, or experienced practitioners new to the city, the ANU dojo provides a friendly and authentic place to step onto the mat.
