West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy

Aikido Martial Arts Academy in Wangara, Western Australia. Since 1993, our academy has been dedicated to building confidence and character in children, teens, and adults in Perth's northern suburbs. We offer a top martial arts, self-defence, and fitness centre that will help you or your child condition the body, focus the mind, and develop an indomitable spirit.

At West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy, we specialise in an authentic Budo system, blending the best elements of aikido, jujutsu, karate, and judo, along with traditional Japanese weapons. This unique and practical method of self-defence and self-improvement is suitable for children, teenagers, and adults. We also have a dedicated Women's Self Defence Programme, Local School Programmes, and private lessons available.

Our main style, Yoseikan Aikido, is a traditional Japanese mixed martial art that combines techniques from Judo, Jujutsu, Karate, and Kenjutsu. It holds its foundations in the budo martial art of the Japanese Samurai. Many practitioners train in Aikido for its nonviolent self-defence techniques, but also for the mental and spiritual benefits it provides.

While our primary focus is on martial arts training, we also offer various programmes tailored to different age groups and needs. Our programmes include Children's Aikido for kids aged 4 to 6 years old, Youth Aikido for ages 7 to 12 years old, Teen & Adult Aikido for ages 13 and up, Women's Self Defence, Martial Arts In Your Local School, and Private Lessons for all ages.

What sets West Coast Aikido apart is our dedication to building confidence, focus, discipline, strength, and stress reduction. In today's world, confidence-building activities for children are becoming scarce, but our programmes offer a safe and challenging environment for students to develop unwavering levels of confidence, empowering them to become unstoppable. Our martial arts classes also provide an opportunity to improve focus and develop discipline. Additionally, through consistent training, individuals can gain strength both physically and mentally and even lose weight while enjoying their favourite foods.

Stress is a common challenge that many people face today, and our programme teaches effective techniques to manage emotions and cope with stress. Whether your goal is to build confidence, improve focus, develop discipline, gain strength, lose weight, or reduce stress, we have an excellent martial arts class waiting for you at West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy.
