Chishin Dojo came about through a need and desire to provide a space to offer a unique style of Aikido, Internal Strength, Yoga and natural therapies to a range of people. We understand the importance of community and hope to create a common connection among our students and friends. At Chishin Dojo we want to make Aikido accessible to everyone. We open our doors to all people regardless of ability, race, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexuality. Our mission is to promote 'unity in diversity'. We are a not-for-profit community based group, so any surplus profit is reinvested in the dojo, our teachers and social enterprise. The dojo has several schemes and options available to make Aikido & Yoga affordable to those on a low income. We directly follow the teaching of Hiroshi Ikeda sensei with not only an emphasis on his internal elements but also his desire to bring together teachers and students from different Aikido organisations and backgrounds to share their skills, build friendships, and support the future growth of Aikido. By combining the knowledge of many instructors we hope to keep the full legacy of Aikido alive in the next generations of students and instructors.
