Mushinjuku Dojo

Mushinjuku dojo follows the teachings of Aikido as a (Budo) or way to gain spiritual character, as opposed to only gaining martial skill (Bujitsu). This means there is great emphasis on understanding your own goals within your training and constantly re-evaluating them.

The training follows a curriculum of traditional Yoshinkan Aikido. This is taught in precise adherence to the techniques and philosophy being taught presently in Japan, at honbu (HQ) dojo. Therefore Mushin Juku Dojo focuses on creating strong posture, balance and centre line. All whilst learning to develop and employ focus power and breath power within all techniques. The use of speed and strength has no real use in our training and is replaced with a focus on timing and zero use of strength.

This type of complete training with many repetitive exercises helps to develop a strong spirit and flow of energy within each student. This is especially important aspect of training and development as it is the attainment of the correct attitude and intention that creates the right state of mind to practice true Aikido. It is this open minded approach with a spirit of compassion and respect that will truly unlock your Aiki potential.
