Kuroyama Budokai Kuroyama Budokai is a Canberra group formed to study Budo - a Japanese term used to describe martial arts/ways.

Kuroyama Budokai is a Canberra group formed to study Budo - a Japanese term used to describe martial ways. The group formed in 2007 at the Australian National University at the base of Black Mountain, a prominent feature of Canberra, from which we derive our name (Kuro Yama). Our philosophy is that Budo is not solely about the practice of the physical and technical aspects of fighting (how to best

defeat an enemy), it also has a deeper goal of developing oneself mentally and spiritually. Practice is designed to preserve the ancient combat techniques, with the aim of helping the modern student to achieve control and co-ordination of mind and body through repeated practice. Our goal is not to create "fighting warriors" or mixed martial artists but rather pursue a study of the traditional aspects of the Japanese Budo arts. We blend the study of a traditional art into a modern environment to create a friendly and relaxed environment where students study and progress at their own pace. Through the diversity of our cadre of instructors, we are able to offer study in, or guidance on Iaido, Jodo, Aikido, Naginata, Kyudo and Kendo.

Nothing says fun like a 6 hour round trip on a quiet Saturday afternoon to load up 32 mats in 38.5 degree heat 😓. Worth the effort.

Just need to find them a cosy space to use for the growth of Kuroyama Budokai.

Our inaugural Mitchel Dojo Aikido class !!!!!!

🌟 We're pleased to commence our 10-week Aikido Program today, and welcome a number of students who are keen to try expand their knowledge.

Aikido emphasises the study of body movements to evade, redirect, and neutralize attacks with throws, joint locks, escapes, and counter strikes—an art rooted in harmonising with the opponent's energy.
