For three decades the Mushin Aikido Club has trained some of the finest black belts and instructors in South Africa. The Mushin Club is run by Darko Vucetic Sensei (6th Dan), and is the home of the South African Aikido Association. We are directly associated with Hombu Dojo through the Serbian Aikido Federation under Shihan Velibor Vesović.

The Way of Aikido, or Budo, is based on a mindset of peace, seeking to defuse all conflict both inside and outside of the practitioner. But this is the Way aspect, and we know that the world we live in is not always a peaceful one, so the martial aspect of the Budo of Aikido is then to be as effective and ruthless as possible when a conflict becomes unavoidable, once again bringing balance and peace to a situation as quickly as possible.

Aikido, as practiced by SAAA, is ideal for all age groups and levels of martial skill and fitness. It is our goal to help you become the best martial artist you can be, challenging you according your level of ability so that you are constantly growing.

This is also an ideal style for people wanting to learn fast and effective self-defense techniques.

We look forward to training with you.
