Dublin Aikikai Aikido

Dublin Aikikai Aikido Established in 1995, DAA is committed to developing the wonderful art of Aikido in Ireland. We also have affiliated clubs in Galway and Belfast.

Dublin Aikido practices Aikikai, which is the organisation originated by the founder of Aikido (O-Sensei) and is currently headed by O-Sensei's grandson in Tokyo. Through our practice we try to remain faithful to the roots of Aikido. We regularly invite high ranking French instructors to teach seminars here in Dublin, in particular Philippe Gouttard (6th Dan), who is our Technical Director. Our se

minars are open to anybody with basic Aikido experience and we are delighted to share our Aikido with whoever is interested in attending. Our students often travel overseas to seminars, especially to France and also to the Hombu (Aikikai headquarters) dojo in Japan. A particular favourite is Phillippe Gouttard's week-long seminar at Meze in the south coast of France each July. Cyril left Dublin in 2010 to start a new life in Geneva, leaving his senior students to continue teaching and managing the club, and Cyril himself has now become one of our visiting instructors. We now have clubs based in Dance House Studios, Foley Street, and at DCU Sports Complex.
