Brisbane Aikikai

Brisbane Aikikai is a traditional Aikido dojo that welcomes all beginners, new members, and visitors from other dojos. The dojo is affiliated with Aikido Shinryukan (NZ) and Aikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan. It is led by Chief Instructor Chris Seto-Payne, a 6th Dan, who has extensive experience teaching Aikido in Australia and overseas. The dojo has a wealth of senior instructors, including two 6th Dan, one 5th Dan, four 4th Dan, and six 3rd Dan, who collectively hold many years of experience teaching the art. Aikido is a non-competitive, non-aggressive martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba, and Brisbane Aikikai teaches this art to defend oneself without inflicting unnecessary harm.
