2022 Wrap and 2023 start dates

Thanks for a great 2022 and we wish you all a safe and enjoyable Christmas-New year break. We will return to training on Tuesday 31st January and are looking forward to a great 2023!

2022 Wrap up:

After a challenging couple of years with COVID disruptions 2022 was a year of reconnection for our dojo. With a slow and steady return of many old faces and a few new ones, the energy in the dojo has continued to grow and grow, and we thank everyone for their support and dedication throughout 2022.

We enjoyed training with other dojos at three special weekend training camps throughout the year – Easter in Canberra, Winter in Orange and our end of year ‘Friendshukku’ in Mittagong – all led by senior instructors from various dojos across the country generously sharing their insights.

And 2023 has more in store: West Ryde dojo is proud to announce we will be hosting the 2023 Easter training camp. Depending on the international COVID situation we are hopeful we may be able to host a Japanese instructor once again – stay tuned for more details!

In the meantime have great holiday and we look forward to seeing you again on 31 January 2023.

Ryde Aikido

We’re back for 2022

Great News! Ryde Aikido is starting back next week! After a longer than usual Christmas break (thanks again COVID) we will start back next Tuesday 1st March. Same aiki time, same aiki place. See you all again Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6:30 for a 7:00pm start.

Recommencing training

Just a quick note to say happy new lunar year and we hope everyone is keeping well.
We are hoping to be able to recommence training soon most likely with some restrictions. We are watching the pandemic progress closely, particularly as school returns, and will be in touch as soon as possible.
in the meantime keep practicing your solo exercises and Stay safe!

Restarting Training Update

Hi all, With the current Omicron outbreak continuing to grow, we have decided to hold off our return to classes until it is safer to do so – the current modelling indicates this will likely be around February but we will continue to monitor the situation and let you know any updates.

This is again disappointing for all of us as we love training with you all but the safety of our members is first and foremost. Hopefully it will only be a temporary delay and we will be back on the mat very soon. In the meantime use this as an opportunity to practice some solo exercises and see what you can observe. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Stay safe and see you soon 🙂
