25.01.2022 AYNSW TRAINING UPDATE: As you all know, the New South Wales government has been easing COVID-19 restrictions to allow people to gradually get back to normal routines. The NSW government has announced that from July 1st kids’ sports can recommence and the resumption of adult community sports to be announced at a later date. Attached is a link to the NSW government advice.... We welcomed this news and recently contacted the school about when we might be able to start our aikido classes in their school hall. Unfortunately, the school has informed us that the current directive from the Department of Education is that no school halls can be hired out at the present time due to COVID-19. We will keep you updated with any changes, but for the time being we will continue to hold the SMR meet-ups at the park when we can (check website for bookings) and hopefully we can see you all on the mats in the not-too-distant future. Stay safe, happy and healthy. Osu! https://www.nsw.gov.au//gyms-and-kids-sports-to-reopen-acr

23.01.2022 Tune in! Be inspired! Joe Thambu Sensei's interview with Robert Mustard Sensei - Part 2. Coming up soon! Look out for the bit where I get called an idiot

22.01.2022 Osu! We are pleased to announce that AYNSW has found a new home in the school hall at Ferncourt Public School, Marrickville, with classes starting on Monday, November 2nd. It has been a difficult and frustrating year for everybody, but as we move towards our new COVID normal situation we can start to return to some of the activities that we used to enjoy, such as aikido. LOCATION School hall at Ferncourt Public School, 74 Premier Street, Marrickville... CLASS SCHEDULE Monday Adults’ General Class - 7.00-8.30 PM Thursday Adults’ General Class - 7.00-8.30 PM Saturday Kids’ Class - 10.00-11.30 AM *Classes are planned for 1.5 hours for now. The adults’ classes may lengthen as we appraise the situation. *Classes will not run on public holidays or during school holiday periods. It has been a long time since we temporarily closed at the end of February. In order to give everyone a fresh start we have cancelled all previous debit agreements. This means that all those who wish to recommence training will need to complete a new debiting agreement with the new debit provider we have changed to. This can be done when you come to train. If you are unsure as to whether or not you can return to aikido, you don’t need to contact us immediately. Take the time to sort out your schedule and if it works, you are welcome to come along. FEE STRUCTURE Adults’ General Weekly Pass (Monday and Thursday) - $35 per week or Adults’ General - 1.5 hour classes - 8 lesson card - $200 Kids - 1.5 hour classes - 8 lesson card - $132 *Students, concession cardholders and pensioners are entitled to a 15% discount on application. The dojo is in the school hall at Ferncourt Public School located at 74 Premier St. Marrickville. There is off-street parking, but no parking on school grounds. Change room options are limited, so it would be best to come wearing dogi pants and ready to make a quick change in the hall. The mats will be transported to the school each session arriving 30 minutes before training time. If you are available to help set up and pack up at the end, please do. Many hands make light work. There is a NSW Government - approved COVID plan which we will have available at the dojo and soon on our website. PLEASE NOTE: Due to Covid there are some restrictions on class sizes. Everyone intending to come MUST register online so that we know how many people are coming and there is a register of all attending. If you register and then cannot attend contact us so we can remove you from the list and let others attend. Registration is very easy through the dojo APP. If you don’t have the APP follow the instructions on the dojo website https://aikido-sydney.com.au/store/ We look forward to seeing you again on the mats soon. Osu! Darren Friend & Peggy Woo

18.01.2022 Continuation of response to questions that couldn't be addressed in the #keeptheflamealive interview. Dealing with knee injuries.

16.01.2022 Yoshinkan Aikido Fellowship Panel - Jon Marshall Sensei, Darren Friend Sensei, Paul Stephens Sensei and Michael Kimeda Sensei

16.01.2022 AYNSW is registered with the NSW Government as a Covid Safe enviroment.

11.01.2022 All female Aikidoka, this is the week you get all your questions answered by three amazing female instructors from Shudokan. All three of them have years of experience teaching both adult and children classes. Hurry! Send in your questions turn the notice on and #keeptheflamealive

10.01.2022 If you missed this on the weekend, you can catch up here. Stay tuned for the next panel featuring Darren Friend Sensei and some of his former colleagues from Honbu Dojo.

08.01.2022 We hope that you are all well and getting on under the continuing Covid situation we are all facing. It is almost 6 months since the dojo closed, we had planned a short break, how plans have changed. Last week I met with staff from Marrickville Public School to see if it would be possible to resume aikido training in their school hall, which had been our pre-Covid plan. While dialogue is continuing it is looking likely we will have to look for an alternative location. I am r...esearching this now, but it might take some time to find a suitable location with vacancy times suitable. We will let you know as soon as anything is determined. Classes in Shinto Muso Ryu sword and staff are continuing at Henson Park, usually Monday evening and Saturday morning, weather allowing. These classes are free and are listed on the website. If you are interested pop along. Register through the website the same as aikido classes previously. By registering we can contact you directly if we need to cancel.

07.01.2022 Thanks to Andy Lam for taking these pics!

03.01.2022 I took part in the keep the flame alive video interview series with Joe Thambu Sensei last month. There were a few questions that could not be included. I have tried to address them here.

03.01.2022 What a great first class in our new location after being shut for most of the year! It was fantastic seeing everyone back on the mats and showing great form. Thanks to all for helping to set up and pack up - the process will be smooth sailing as we get into the swing of it No pics to post as we were too busy training we forgot! Don’t forget the next class is Thursday from 7:00 - sign up early on the dojo app. OSU!
