Noosa Shodokan Aikido is a sports club located in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, offering training in the defensive Japanese martial art of Aikido. Aikido is known for its principles of avoiding attacks, breaking the balance of the attacker, and applying techniques such as strikes, throws, and locks to subdue the attacker. Unlike other martial arts, Aikido does not require strength, making it suitable for all age groups, sexes, and body shapes.
The club specialises in teaching Shodokan Aikido, which focuses on teaching Aikido basics in a structured form. This approach ensures that the techniques learned can be effectively applied in real-life situations and sport Aikido competitions. Shodokan Aikido is taught consistently in all Dojos (training places) worldwide, with technical direction provided by Tetsuro Nariyama Shihan, the head of the Shodokan Aikido movement.
One of the benefits of practising Aikido at Noosa Shodokan Aikido is that it offers a fitness alternative to traditional gym workouts or swimming. Aikido requires interaction with a partner, making it a social form of exercise. Regular Aikido practise can improve flexibility, core strength, and reaction times.
Noosa Shodokan Aikido offers classes for both adults and children, catering to individuals of all levels of experience. The club also provides the opportunity to participate in competition Aikido, allowing members to put their skills to the test.
Garry Bright, the owner and founder of Noosa Shodokan Aikido, invites newcomers to try their first Aikido lesson for free. The training takes place at the Masonic Hall on Moorindal Street in Tewantin, with the postal address being 15 Creek Road in Noosaville, Queensland.
