Kyu Shin Do Aikido was established on Auckland's North Shore in 1992

We offer a safe and friendly training environment in our dedicated training facility and, as a 'not for profit' organisation we strive to keep our fees affordable for all.

Our senior instructors each have over 30 years experience teaching Aikido.

By its very nature, Aikido is suitable for men, women and children of all ages as it does not rely on physical strength for its effectiveness but uses the principles of blending and redirecting an attack. We offer classes for adults and children from the age of 5 years.
In our younger members we foster leadership and teaching skills and in all our members we encourage and support cooperation, respect for others, continuous improvement and responsibility.

Our Aikido has a unique learning structure based on 16 forms (each representing a way of attack) with 9 basic techniques being taught within each form. This provides the foundation which leads the student into the wider study that is aikido There is a strong emphasis on the development of teaching skills of the instructors to make sure the classes are fun, enjoyable and safe. We place equal emphasis on Aikido hand techniques and Aiki weapons training.
