Grading Recognition

The Australasian Aikikai (the AA) is the parent organisation of your dojo. It provides a common place for a group of like minded dojos: Makotokan Budo, Aikido Adelaide, Taizenkan, and Saku Shin Kan, to collaborate and share Aikido in a broader setting. The AA looks after our very strong linkage with the Aikikai Foundation (Home Dojo) in Japan. This includes recognition of grades / standings within the global Aikido community.

Your contributions go towards the enhancement and sustainment of our organisation both domestically and internationally. The funds are used to provide professional development and advanced training to our senior instructors, hosting visiting senior instruction from overseas, supporting the training objectives of people within our community going through tough times, and provide for some small administrative costs associated with operation of the organisation.
