Are you the owner of Aikido Shinryukan Burnside Dojo?
Steve, the organiser of Aikido Shinryukan Burnside Dojo in Christchurch, wants to share exciting details about the dojo and its offerings with the sports community.
Located at the corner of Clyde Road and Morley Street, the Burnside Dojo serves as the headquarters for Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury. The school also has a satellite dojo at Linwood Cowles Stadium on Pages Road, providing members access to both locations.
With a variety of class times, there are adult classes every day at Burnside and Monday to Thursday at Linwood. Children can join in on the fun with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The dojo welcomes students of all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.
Steve details the membership options: it's $60 per month for individuals, offering unlimited training sessions at both dojos. This fee also covers mini-seminars and proficiency tests, though additional costs apply for larger seminars and gradings. Discounts are available for families training together, and pre-payment options offer further savings.
For those new to Aikido, the dojo opens its doors to beginners of all ages. Prospective students can watch or jump straight into a general or basics class – the first class is free. Steve especially encourages children aged 13 and below to try the dedicated kids' classes.
There are incentives for members as well. Through a buddy system, students can earn a month of free training by introducing a friend who joins and pays their first month's fee. Also, the Top Trainer award, given to the top-performing trainers over four months annually, provides three months of free training.
Steve invites everyone, from beginners to seasoned Aikido practitioners, to discover the supportive and welcoming environment at Aikido Shinryukan Burnside Dojo. Whether you're looking to start your Aikido journey or enhance your skills, this dojo has a range of classes, experienced instructors, and flexible membership options to meet your needs.
