EXCLUSIVE OFFER TO OUR DOJO

In light of societal events, and in honour of our martial art’s heritage of a close connection to Japan’s law enforcement training (Tokyo Riot and Metro Police), we’d like to honour the service of our local law enforcement workers: ANY CURRENT QUEENSLAND POLICE AND CORRECTIONS WORKERS WILL TRAIN FOR FREE.
If our dojo is to hold strong to its motto of “community before everything, service before self”, then it is only natural that we extend this invitation to our police in the interest of service. If you are a Qld Police or Corrections Officer, feel free to contact the dojo to enact this policy and begin training today for free!

Well, it’s almost twenty years since I first walked through the doors at the Brisbane Yoshinkan Aikido Dojo. I still remember it as if it was yesterday.
