The Wednesday 7:45pm - 8:45pm class at the Thornbury Dojo is now a Special Class and is open to students 8th Kyu and above. This will be an exciting and particularly interesting class to attend as it will cover aspects of Aikido which are not often done in class. Be sure to attend every Wednesday as this is definitely one class not to be missed!




The Aikido Shudokan backpack/duffle bag has just arrived! It has a stowaway backpack harness for when you just want to sling it over your shoulder, or you can unpack the harness and wear it and be ergonomical! There are multiple pockets for storing your essential items like deodorant, strapping tape, breath mints and pictures of your loved ones. The functionality of this bag is phenomenal and you should get one today from the Thornbury or Oakleigh dojos.

Our stunning dojo model, George “Salamalicious”, shows some of the various ways in which this bag can be worn!
