Weekly Aikido Training Palmerston North

Build Confidence Through Aikido Training

Aikido offers a unique path to personal growth and community connection in Palmerston North. At the Manawatu Aikido Club, weekly sessions invite participants to explore this Japanese martial art that emphasises harmony, balance, and non-violent conflict resolution. Whether you are new to martial arts or seeking to refine your skills, these sessions provide a welcoming environment for all ages from 13 upwards. Held every Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm to 7.30pm, each 90-minute class focuses on practical techniques that promote physical fitness, mental discipline, and social bonds. No prior experience is required, making it accessible for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

Once you step into the session, you will engage in guided exercises that teach evasive movements, joint locks, and throws designed to redirect an opponent's energy. The club fosters a supportive atmosphere where members of various backgrounds come together, building lasting friendships and a sense of belonging in the Manawatū-Whanganui community. This is more than just training; it is an opportunity to enhance self-awareness and resilience while connecting with like-minded individuals. Sessions are open to everyone, not just members, encouraging community participation and inclusivity.

Pricing ensures accessibility: registration costs $65, with monthly fees at $50 or a reduced $25 for those with a student ID or Community Services Card. Casual attendance is available per session at $25, allowing flexibility for newcomers to try before committing.
