Aikido Australia training in Sydney north shore by Sensei Derek Minus

Welcome to Ku-ring-gai Dojo

Located on the upper north shore of Sydney, the Ku-ring-gai dojo is an affiliated club with the Aikido Australia association. I established this dojo 30 years ago and I have been providing instruction in the martial art of Aikido, continuously since that time.

Our Lineage

We are the inheritors and custodians of the Founder's Aikido practice from his personal dojo in Iwama, Japan. The practice was transmitted directly by O'Sensei to Saito Sensei 9th dan, to his student Takayasu Sensei 6th dan and by him to our chief Instructor, Derek Minus 5th dan.

Weapons training

Practice with the bokken (wooden sword) and jo (wooden staff) is a unique and important part of our Aikido curriculum. This practice reflects the use of weapons as a way of uncovering the deeper meanings of Aikido principles as taught by O'Sensei in the Iwama dojo.

Dojo Spirit

The Spirit of our Dojo is based on the Founder's teaching of the concept of takemusu-aiki and our training regime:
- perseverance with practice and
- a willingness to employ strategies for survival.

Beginners are Welcome

Each month we run a special Beginners Class to introduce people to Aikido and teach them the basics of self-prtotection.
