ABOUT
Aikido is a Japanese martial art that uses locks, holds, throws, and the opponent’s own momentum — no significant physical strength required. TaiZenKan Dojo is affiliated with the Australasian Aikikai and established in partnership with Judo Central Coast in Erina, NSW. A family martial centre with a safe, respectful environment for all ages, genders and backgrounds.
DOJO
We train at Judo Central Coast — Erina Dojo, 3A Chiltern Rd, Erina NSW 2250 (upstairs). The dojo features great judo mats and a sprung floor. We always emphasise respect for the place, the people, and the practice — shoes off before the mat, bow when entering or leaving, and leave your ego at the door.

FAQ
Aikido suits everyone — all ages, sizes, and fitness levels. Classes begin with warm-ups, breakfalls, then partner technique work — throws, locks, and unbalancing. No punching or kicking. First visit is free. We train Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri — come any session and jump on the mat.
