Finding an activity where everyone starts on a level playing field can be tough, but Aikido is a rare gem that truly levels the mat. 🥋✨

Unlike many competitive sports, Aikido isn't about being the biggest, the strongest, or the oldest. It’s about harmony, balance, and using an opponent’s energy rather than fighting against it.

Why Aikido is Perfect for Every Kid:

Gender-Neutral: On the mat, everyone is a student. Techniques rely on physics and timing, not raw muscle, making it equally effective for everyone.

Age is Just a Number: Whether they are 6 or 16, the focus is on personal growth and coordination. It’s a lifelong journey where the "big kids" learn patience and the "little kids" build confidence.

Conflict Resolution: It teaches children how to stay calm under pressure and de-escalate "attacks"—skills that translate perfectly from the dojo to the playground.

Safe & Supportive: No trophies, no losers. Just a community of kids learning to respect themselves and each other.

If you’re looking for a martial art that values character over competition, Aikido is the way to go! 🌏🤝

Where: TASS Borella
When: Every Saturday (10:00AM to 11:30AM)

From the Kotahena mats to the Borella dojo, our young aikidoka are gearing up for grading! 🥋✨

In Aikido, strength isn't just about the technique; it’s about mindfulness. We’re teaching our kids to find their 'center' and stay calm under pressure. Whether it’s a forward roll or a tricky transition, a clear mind leads the way.

Keep breathing, stay focused, and let your spirit shine! Good luck to all our students leveling up this week. 🙏🏽

Warm wishes for a prosperous and peaceful New Year from all of us at the Sri Lanka Aikido Association SLA.

As we step into this new chapter, let us continue to embody the spirit of Aiki—finding harmony in our movements, strength in our discipline, and connection within our community. May this year bring you steady progress on and off the mat.

Wishing our instructors, students, and practitioners across the island a year filled with health, mindfulness, and growth.

Happy New Year! 🥋✨

. Kids Class
* Locations: Borella
* Focus: Discipline and Agility
* The Vibe: Absolute controlled chaos! In Borella , the kids work heavily on Ukemi (falling safely) and basic coordination games. The goal is to instill the "Aiki spirit"—respect for partners and self-discipline—while burning off plenty of energy. It’s less about complex locks and more about building a foundation of balance and "unbendable arm" focus

Ladies Class
* Locations: Park Road
* Focus: Precision and Flow
* The Vibe: These sessions emphasize blending (Tenkan) and using an opponent's momentum rather than raw strength. At Park Road, the focus is often on the grace of movement and core stability, and we tend to lean into practical self-defense applications in a supportive, high-energy environment. It’s about empowerment through technical mastery.

11/04/2026

* Locations: Nugegoda
* Focus: Longevity and Joint Mobility
* The Vibe: A much more meditative and technical pace. The senior practitioners at these dojos focus on softness and posture. There is a deep respect for the circular nature of Aikido, ensuring that the joints are protected while maintaining flexibility. It’s a masterclass in "minimum effort, maximum effect," proving that Aikido is truly a lifelong journey.

Day One: Insights from a Master 🥋

We are incredibly honored to have kicked off the first day of our Aikido seminar with Shihan Hiroyuki Namba from Hombu Dojo, Japan! 🇯🇵

The energy on the mat today was exceptional. Our aikidokas gained invaluable insights and technical depth through Shihan Namba's precise instruction. It has already been an immensely helpful experience for everyone involved, from refining basic movements to understanding the finer points of harmony and technique.

We are feeling inspired and ready for day two!
