Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art derived from jujitsu and weapons practice. It makes use of circular movements, proper timing and joint locks to off-balance, and control an attacker through effective ground pins or throws.

Who we are

The RMIT Aikido Club has been running since the early 1980s, with the aim to provide students and the general community with value-for-money martial arts training in a non-competitive and supportive environment. The club offers a range of classes to suit everyone, from beginners seeking to learn a new skill to experienced practitioners looking to take up a second martial art.

Beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome at anytime during the year!

First 3 classes are free to try!
(Watching first is fine too!)
