Welcome to Ellerslie Aikido Club, a leading Aikido school located in Auckland, New Zealand. This club offers a unique approach to self-defence training, focusing on building confidence and promoting respect.
For those who are seeking to build self-confidence without the intensity of Mixed Martial Arts like karate, Aikido is the perfect choice. Our instructors are committed to creating a safe and inclusive environment where students can develop their skills at their own pace.
Core strength and flexibility are essential for a healthy life, and at Ellerslie Aikido, we prioritise the correct methods and techniques to help all students achieve a strong and flexible body. Our experienced instructors will guide you on this journey, ensuring that you are physically fit and mentally empowered.
Aikido, often referred to as the “Soft Martial Art,” emphasises the belief that harm should not be done to others. Unlike karate and Taekwondo, Aikido techniques utilise the opponent's energy to ensure self-defence without causing harm. We teach our students the principles of harmonising with their opponent's movements, promoting safety and minimising unnecessary aggression.
Safety is of utmost importance to us at Ellerslie Aikido. When you come for a visit, don't forget to bring water to stay hydrated during your training session. Our instructors prioritise the well-being of our students and provide a nurturing environment where everyone can learn and grow.
Aikido transcends the need for competitive and aggressive martial arts, such as karate and Taekwondo. You don't need to punch, kick, or harm others to defend yourself or your loved ones. We believe that Aikido offers a more holistic and peaceful approach to self-defence.
