Aikido is a great way to keep fit, learn some practical self-defense and improve self-confidence. The lessons from the training spill over into your daily life making it one of the most beneficial sports you can take up on many levels.
Shodokan Aikido is a competitive form of aikido so you have the chance to participate in competitions if this is of interest to you. However, they are not compulsory. You will still be able to learn the principles of timing, distance, etc and a little of the intensity of competitive practice during normal lessons.
We offer childrens' and adults' classes two nights per week at the Island Bay Marine Education Centre. More information here: http://www.shodokanaikido.org.nz/
