Melbourne Aikido

The goal of the Shinzenryu Aikido dojo is to promote spiritual development via the practice of Aikido, the art of harmony. The aim of this practice is Self mastery rather than a martial art based on combat or self defense. Sessions are dynamic stillness in motion meditations. Through our techniques, you can become more conscious of your body’s energetic center, or hara as it is known in Japanese. Such a change results in a natural order in one’s system, which manifests as a harmonious and happy state of being. Aikido is the name we give to this flow state. The tranquility we acquire through meditation is the antidote to the pressures and anxieties of contemporary life, and it gives us a compelling way to realize our full human potential.
