Iyasaka aikidoklubb

Iyasaka Aikidoklubb is one of Stockholm's oldest aikido clubs, founded in 1981, with its main dojo in its own premises at Tavastgatan 26B in Södermalm. Activities include training for all ages and levels: beginner classes, children's training (from three years of age), teenage groups, adult training, and adapted training for pensioners and stroke survivors. Training takes place seven days a week, split between the dojo in Södermalm and Enskedehallen.

The club is a non-profit association affiliated with Svenska Aikidoförbundet and Riksidrottsförbundet, with grading activity also approved by the International Aikido Federation and Aikikai Hombu Dojo. Around twenty or so instructors, several of them highly graded, lead the sessions — some of them are active as teachers internationally. Kobayashi-Sensei is cited as the club's primary source of inspiration, and collaborations with teachers from around the world are a defining feature of the organisation.

Suits you if you want to practise aikido in an established and serious club environment, whether you are completely new or already have experience of martial arts. Families are particularly welcome, and there are also adapted groups for older participants and rehabilitation.
