Melbourne Uni Aikido club partnership

We have partnered with the Melbourne Uni Aikido Club to provide members with extra training opportunities each week.

What to bring to a training?

Firstly, bring yourself! Being physical in nature, we recommend wearing clothes that do not restrict your movements. Tshirts and shorts are fine if you're a total beginner.

If you have practiced other styles of martial arts and have their uniforms, these are fine to wear as long as there are no prominent patches or embroidery on them.
