Wicklow Aikido Club has classes every Tuesday and Thursday, in Kilmacanogue and Ashford, from 7pm - 8:30pm!

Aikido is a Japanese, natural movement martial art, to co-ordinate your mind and body for health, self-defence, and self-development.

The principle is to avoid attack, blend with your attackers movement, and establish control.

The organisation has had a very busy year - We run intensive weekend training seminars with Seán MacRuairí Shihan, 7th Dan, once per month in our Dublin dojo, and we also welcomed Irie Sensei from the headquarters Hombu Dojo in Japan for a seminar in April, and we had our first residential summer course since 2019 this summer in Limerick, stretching nearly a full week!

All alongside our weekly slate of classes, in Dublin, Galway, Maynooth, and Wicklow!
