22.01.2022 Class is cancelled tonight due to the inclement weather. Stay safe and see you all next week.

16.01.2022 Thursday classes cancelled for awhile. Due to low attandance and the with the tightening of restrictions due to the potential for the COVID-19 situation in Queensland to escalate, I have decided to cancel thursday classes for the next few weeks. Tuesday adults classes will continue 6:30pm to 7:30pm... We will contiue to watch the situation and start planning a return for Senior kids and then Junior kids so please stay in touch to get the latest news when we finialise plans.

10.01.2022 We have been working towards a return to classes and have developed the following plan to train again within the rules that are in place to keep everyone safe during this time. These rules will make training a little bit different for the foreseeable future and will not allow us to return to kids classes just yet. As we are a full-contact martial art, we can return during Stage 3 restriction. The Queensland Government Road Map to Easing Restrictions does not specifically me...ntion contact sports and does require ongoing 1.5m physical distancing rules when not specifically training on the matts. We plan to return to adults classes on Tuesday 4th August at 6:30 pm. The general rule of Get In, Train and Get Out applies for all students. Here are the rules we need to abide by for safe training: 1) STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK (even if you have mild symptoms of colds or flu stay at home until you are completely free of symptoms). 2) Follow good respiratory hygiene. Avoid touching your face. Cough into an elbow if you need to. Use hand sanitizer regularly. 3) Upon arrival, you MUST REGISTER your attendance on the provided tablet. 4) Wear a clean uniform for each class (launder between classes) and observe good personal hygiene. 5) Bring your own equipment (weapons, uniforms) and do NOT SHARE them with others. Disinfect weapons before and after use. 6) Arrive already dressed in your uniform (there are no change-room facilities allowed) 7) Clean your hands (use alcohol hand sanitiser or wash hands thoroughly with soap and water) prior to entering the dojo space, and after you leave. 8) Mats must be disinfected before and after each class. All students are expected to disinfect their own training area. We will provide disinfectant equipment. 9) Students are to train with only ONE PARTNER, and in ONE AREA for the duration of class 10) There are no guest observers allowed in class, and groups of people are to NOT congregate in the entry area. Children's classes At this stage, we cannot run children's classes, as we cannot be responsible for unsupervised children under 12yrs of age and we cannot allow parents to congregate at the dojo. If your child is in the children's classes but turning 12, you may consider enrolment in adults classes. Children's classes, when they resume, will be progressively re-introduced, starting with the older age group (8yrs and up). The decision to re-start each age group will depend on a number of factors, including allowing parents into the space, and any changes in the situation with the COVID-19 response in Queensland.

01.01.2022 Hello all. It has been awhile since I have updated you on the status of the dojo so here goes. James Sensei has been back in hospital for a second operation and is recovering at home. He is waiting for the all clear from the surgeon, hopefully on the 29th July before being able to comit to making a return to classes.... We are also very mindful of the situation with COVID-19 and the requirements for training under the AIS guidlines for level 3 contact training. We are formulating a plan to train within the guidlines and will likely start with Adults and Seniors classes followed by Juniors a couple of weeks later. Please stay up to date by watching here and or the website http://aikidobrisbane.com to know when classes will resume.

01.01.2022 Dojo Update. Hi everyone hope you are all staying well in these unusual times. Obviously the Dojo will remain closed until social distancing regulations are relaxed but we are ready to resume classes as soon as possible. Also James Sensei is out of hospital and well. There are more tests to be done however before a final prognosis is known.... Try applying these basic principles to your daily regime: 1) Keep one point 2) Relax progressively 3) Correct posture 4) Positive mind
