Aikido Port Kennedy is a martial arts business located in Western Australia, founded and led by Dave Matthews, a highly experienced instructor with a 6th Dan black belt in Aikido. Aikido, a Japanese martial art developed by Master Morihei Ueshiba, focuses on using pins, throws, and locks to neutralize attackers without causing harm. The philosophy of Aikido emphasizes blending with the energy of the attack, rather than opposing it, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and genders.
At Aikido Port Kennedy, students not only learn self-defense techniques but also train their minds, improve their health, and cultivate a positive spirit. The business follows the principles of non-violence and personal development, as taught by O’Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. With a history rooted in various Aikido styles such as Yoshinkan, Kokikai, and Yuishinkai, Dave Matthews brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his teachings at Aikido Port Kennedy.
Unlike competitive martial arts, Aikido does not involve winning or losing against opponents. Instead, students focus on personal growth and self-improvement through the practice of Aikido techniques. Aikido Port Kennedy offers a welcoming environment for individuals looking to enhance their physical abilities, mental discipline, and overall well-being through the study of this traditional Japanese martial art.
