25.01.2022 We are happy to announce that we will be recommencing training again from Tuesday 14th of July. At this stage we will still be applying some social distancing and as such we will only be training with weapons (aiki ken and aiki jo) and perhaps some basic footwork and body positioning. I think this is probably a good way to ease everyone back in anyway. We will return to the normal training as soon as it is possible and everyone feels comfortable in doing so.... Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. ---- And please remember the following rules: - Don't come to training if you or someone you are living with are feeling sick. Even with mild symptoms of flu/cold you must stay at home. - Wash hands before and after training. - There will be hand sanitiser to use during class if required during class, but please feel free to bring your own. - Bring your own water bottle, please do no use the cups or taps at the venue

22.01.2022 Due to the Show Day holiday there will be no training tonight. I hope you all enjoy your day whether you are at the show or relaxing with family. Back on Tuesday!

20.01.2022 The time has almost arrived. Training starts for 2020 next Tuesday at 6:30pm. If you are interested in trying aikido and have any questions just ask or check out our website for specific details. https://www.aikidomackay.com

20.01.2022 This article is a couple of years old but still very relevant. Worth a read.

17.01.2022 Hi Everyone Due to the COVID-19 crisis all training will be temporarily cancelled until further notice, effective immediately. Our training venue has decided to cease all operations in the short term and we think this is also a wise time for us to follow suit. In these times it's important to act with a sense of community, and to make sure we look after and protect not only ourselves but everyone in society.... One of the best things about Aikido, a "side effect" to our training if you like, is that it helps you learn to remain calm in stressful situations and I think now is a very good time for calm. If anyone has any questions or concerns then please reach out and we will be back training as soon as we are able. Thanks

16.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago we hosted some visitors from Melbourne who very kindly came all this way to train with us here in Mackay. A big thank you to Chris Sensei, Enzo Sensei and Jamie Sempai for making such a huge contribution to our learning. Over the course of a week we managed to get in about 20 hours of training and while we were all a bit tired and sore in the short term we will all benefit greatly in the long term. ... Apologies to Enzo Sensei and all the rest who trained with us over the week for not getting them in the photo.

16.01.2022 ... Aikido can be thought of as an operating system level upgrade for humans... This is a very interesting take on the philosophical and intellectual side to aikido training. Not everyone will completely agree with Josh but it’s still an interesting read.

14.01.2022 While everyone is probably looking forward to the Easter break, training is still on tonight. If we don’t see you there then have a happy and safe Happy Easter!While everyone is probably looking forward to the Easter break, training is still on tonight.

14.01.2022 Unfortunately there will be no training tonight due to work commitments. ----- We will be back rolling in no time and until then if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

14.01.2022 Big thanks to Studio 53 for the post and great to be able to train in a wonderfully professional facility.

14.01.2022 Patricia Hendricks (7th dan) leads a spectacular demonstration of Iwama Aikido. The demo is filmed in 4K and incorporates an original score.

14.01.2022 Remember training starts again tonight at 6:30. Please note that the venue management is restricting access to the building to hirers and participants only so please message or call if you have trouble getting in.

13.01.2022 Unfortunately there will be no training this evening due to unforeseen circumstances. Our sincere apologies but hopefully we will be back in action on Thursday.

11.01.2022 There will be no training on Thursday due to ANZAC day. Training tonight as usual though so see you there.There will be no training on Thursday due to ANZAC day. Training tonight as usual though so see you there.

11.01.2022 It was fantastic to attend this event again for the first time in a few years. Three days of training with some wonderful people and also some amazingly skilled teachers. After Field Sensei’s passing it’s great to remember that our small dojo still has much support.

08.01.2022 Mastering Aikido can be challenging at the best of times, but even more so when access to those that have already achieved that mastery involves taking two planes and travelling 2500km. Sometime ago our Sensei, the late Michael Field had a vision for assisting people like us, and others, in learning Aikido, no matter where they were, and launched the Online Dojo. Now, under the guidance of his most senior students the Iwama Ryu Aikido Australia Online Dojo has been relaunched.... It has regular classes, how to videos, access to the most experienced sensei in Australia and many more resources. I encourage anyone wanting to learn Aikido, particularly now that we are social distancing which makes traditional training difficult, to check it out. https://www.iwamaryuaikido.com/

05.01.2022 As last week was our final week of training for the year, and as we go off to rest and recharge the batteries for a few weeks, I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas period. To all who trained with us this year, from our dedicated regulars, new students and of course our visiting Sensei from Melbourne, a big thank you for another year. We have also just committed to another year at Studio 53, and we will be back in action there on January 14th 2020. If you have be...en thinking of giving Aikido a try then please get in touch. See you next year Jason

03.01.2022 Hi all Please be aware that due to safety protocols implemented by Studio 53, the front door of the studios will be locked from 6pm. Please use the rear entrance after this time. ... If you have any questions please call or message Thanks
