About Sydney Aikikai Incorporated
Sydney Aikikai is a long-established aikido dojo training on Sydney's Northern Beaches, with sessions held at the Manly Scout Hall and a midweek class at Collaroy. The club follows a strong Hombu lineage, offering an authentic grounding in the Japanese martial art of aikido within a genuinely welcoming community.
Training is self-paced and adapted to each student's capabilities and those of their partners, making the dojo equally suited to complete beginners and seasoned practitioners. Newcomers are introduced to aikido slowly and in a friendly manner, working through warm-up exercises, ukemi (breakfalls), footwork and body movement before progressing to general techniques.
Students consistently describe the instructors and members as a friendly bunch who train hard while making everyone feel incredibly welcome, with a relaxed atmosphere supported by experienced senior students. For anyone in Manly or the wider Northern Beaches looking to build coordination, balance, focus and self-defence skills through a discipline that emphasises harmony over aggression, Sydney Aikikai offers an accessible and supportive place to begin or continue the journey.
