Welcome to the Austin Aikido Club. Looking for a family friendly martial arts club in north Austin…in a style that is effective self defense without punching and kicking? Look no further! We are located at the NW YMCA, 5807 McNeil Drive Austin, TX 78729 – about 1/2 mile north of Parmer Ln. map

Aikido students learn how to redirect an attacker and use joint manipulation techniques to control them without using force (muscle). It’s an excellent self defense art for people who are small (children, women) and large. We also learn weapons techniques for (wooden) sword and staff. Curious about techniques? Visit our YouTube channel, youtube.com/austinaikidoclub. We’re gradually adding more videos.

Join us – try a class. Free.

Classes are held Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:15 – 8:30 and Fridays from 7:00 – 8:30. All are welcome – YMCA membership is NOT required, though Y members pay a slightly lower tuition rate.

Monthly tuition for YMCA members is $55 for the first person, and $45 for the next family member. Monthly tuition for non-YMCA members is $75 and $55 for the second family member. If you cannot attend all 3 days, the tuition may be prorated (that’s up to the Y).
