Welcome to DublinAikido.com!
We are glad to present to you the brand new version of the DAA
website. It contains all the resources that made the old website, a must see
for anyone, member or friend of the DAA, but we've pumped up the engine
to make it a real portal for all the Aikido community in Ireland and
beyond. If you wish to help us and contribute to the content of this website, please find all the information here.

Quote of the Day
“Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life. Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with your own, becoming the Breath of Life itself.”
