Welcome to the website of Zanshin Kai Dojo. At Zanshin Kai we practice traditional Aikido as passed down from its creator Morihei Ueshiba, known as O'Sensei.

A pure self defensive Budo, Aikido(pronounced Eye-Key-Do) is renowned for its effectiveness in any given situation, and devastating application of techniques that attack the joints of the body when applied.

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art that utilises evasive movement and the aggressor's weight and momentum, rather than physical strength, to break an aggressor's balance and posture. Strikes to vital areas are also used to disrupt an aggressor's attack and concentration. This enables the Aikidoka to apply one of the many joint locking or throwing techniques found in Aikido to neutralise an attack and quickly bring the aggressor under control, causing a minimum of harm to them.
