This Sydney branch aikido dojo is registered with the International Yoshinkai Aikido Federation (IYAF), the governing body of Yoshinkan Aikido internationally. All instructors at Aikido Yoshinkai NSW are registered with the IYAF and have trained extensively in Japan under the leading Yoshinkan Aikido teachers there. Additionally AYNSW instructors are accredited as martial arts coaches through the Martial Arts Industry Association (MAIA) under the auspices of the National Coaching Accreditation Scheme (NCAS.) administered by the Australian Sports Commission.
“We at Aikido Yoshinkai NSW will endeavour to follow the training methods and syllabus that we trained through at the Yoshinkan headquarters in Tokyo, Japan and introduce this efficient and effective martial art to Sydney.” Instructors Darren Friend & Peggy Woo.

The goal of Aikido Yoshinkai New South Wales is to introduce the philosophies and dynamics of Yoshinkan Aikido to the local community. Through diligent practice and mutual respect we aim to foster deep ties within the community and create a positive atmosphere where people from different backgrounds can enjoy training together.Emphasis will be placed on the physical aspects of aikido. Yoshinkan Aikido is renowned for its dynamic and effective technique. With many years of experience training at the Yoshinkan Honbu (headquarters), the instructors will bring a solid understanding and professional approach to every class.
We hope to develop strong ties with all sections of the local community, from schools and colleges to workers and professionals. While the direct benefit of Yoshinkan Aikido is seen in its clear and powerful technique, by bringing people together in a non-competitive setting we can remove barriers to communication and come to understand each other better.
Aikido Yoshinkai NSW aims to become a prominent member within the Australian and international martial arts community. As such, Aikido Yoshinkai NSW is intent on periodically bringing high-ranking Japanese and international instructors to Australia for seminars and demonstrations
