Aikido is a contemporary Japanese martial art. Aikido techniques are defensive only. The techniques emphasise harmonising with the attackers force and then redirecting the force to take control of the situation.

Kokikai Aikido, Lismore Dojo is a branch of Aikido Kokikai Austraila, which in turn belongs to a very large international Aikido Kokikai family. Ian Newton is the Dojo Leader and has been studying Kokikai since 1999 and holds a 4th Dan. The Lismore Dojo is the first regional Kokikai Aikido Dojo in Australia, and was established in Lismore since 1991.

Aikido Kokikai primarily offers an opportunity for us to develop our innate potential. Kokikai Aikido is practiced with a co-operative attitude, as we realize that we are each helping each other to improve ourselves. We extend a cordial welcome and invitation to all martial artists and in particular aikido practitioners who have trained in other styles to come and train at the Lismore dojo.Aikido Kokikai is far more than a self defence, it’s benefits are carried into and help us every day.
