Welcome to Aikido Tenshindo

Aikido is a non-competitive, Japanese martial art, suitable for people of any age – we offer classes for adults and children.

Aikido is dynamic and powerful, but does not rely on strength for the execution of techniques. Break falling methods are used to enhance training and allow participants to receive techniques without injury. Advanced break falls can be very athletic. You can progress your training at your own pace.

Aikido Tenshindo dojo has been operating in Wellington since 1984. We offer morning and evening classes for all levels throughout the week.

Our dojo is fully affiliated with the world’s largest Aikido organisation—Aikikai—and we participate on regular basis in national and international seminars as well as host regular Wellington-based events.

Visit us and experience Aikido in our friendly and supportive dojo. All are welcome. Come and watch a class, or wear some comfortable clothing and join in.
