Aikido school

Authentic Japan Affiliated Aikikai Aikido. Hugh Derham is one of top teachers of Aikido in Australia. Good gentle training with focus and laugh afterwards. You couldn't get better value training in the Art in Perth.

I have spent many years watching my children have all the fun. Now, I thought, it’s time I was looking for a good martial arts school and found a great one!I was looking for classes that built my fitness and helped me feel strong and more confident. I didn’t expect to find such a welcoming school as the Jan de Jong Martial Arts.Maggie and her team have created this very family friendly, disciplined and versatile array of classes. They even have a class where families, including Mum’s and Dad’s, can all train together. How great is that!Why not go along and have a look?

Great place to learn and get fit, 10/10

I've been training here for 8 years an absolutely love it.

I started my martial arts training at Jan De Jong in 2006 doing Jujitsu, then adding Aikido and Japanese swordwork classes. Maggie and Paul curate an amazing, expansive system which incorporates traditional Japanese Jujitsu, Aikido, weapons work and more. However rather than being stuck in tradition, the martial arts taught here have constantly evolved and improved to keep up with modern self-defense needs.More than just being able to defend ourselves physically, we are taught how to carry ourselves and act in a way to avoid ever being attacked.The head instructors have over a century of combined experience. Highly recommend this dojo!

This dojo teaches the Philosophy of aikido and is a traditional based art worth recommending to learn endless techniques. It is a traditional dojo with a safe and comfortable environment.

Been training with these guys for a few years and really enjoy it. Great club, great style, lots of senior students with fabulous experience to train with.

Great school exceptional knowledge first class instructor's

I have been training at this club for 5 years and love every session. Great instruction and style.

My best day at Aikido WA is the day I walked in the door. Anyone that is involved in Aikido knows the hardest part is getting started. I wasn’t sure what to expect, as I had been into Karate for many years, although I knew the school’s reputation through research and the urging of a friend.The instructors left an impression on me that resonates today. I had accomplished something by the end of class. I was challenged and hadn’t been challenged like that in a long time. I choose Aikido WA because it is close to home and offers traditional Aikido, with Japanese, Australian and interstate instructors. I have stayed because it has helped me change my outlook on life and who I am.I recommend Aikido WA to anyone who wishes to make a positive change. The instructors are excellent with a fantastic program. The Aikido WA family is just that, a family. I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime. We constantly learn from each other on the mat, leaving our ego’s behind and that’s what makes Aikido WA such a great school.
