Kyu Shin Do Aikido


Kyu Shin Do Aikido was introduced to New Zealand in 1980, by the late Sensei Ron Russell, 5th Dan. It was established on the North Shore by Ray and Gail Eder in 1992. Kyu Shin Do Aikido is a non profit organisation, and has a diverse membership with a strong family orientation.

A unique learning structure together with a strong emphasis on the development of teaching skills of the instructors makes sure the classes are fun and enjoyable. The Aikido practised in the club has equal emphasis on Aiki weapons and hand techniques.

Kyu Shin Do Aikido (North Shore) is affiliated to the Institute of Aikido in the UK, with Mr H. Foster, 7th Dan as technical director. This is the organisation where Sensei Russell learned his Aikido. Chief Instructor Ray Eder, 5th Dan and several senior members of the club have been extremely fortunate to have trained under Sensei Russell.

Visitors from other clubs and styles from New Zealand and around the world are always welcome to join us at the dojo. Indeed, our continued contact with other styles means that we benefit from learning from a diverse range of visiting international and local instructors.
