The Takemusu Aiki Association's approach to Aikido practice is non-partisan and inclusive. All students of any style of Aikido or other martial art are welcome to join in training and our members are free to experiment and train with other Aikido styles, or other martial arts. The Takemusu Aiki Association is also happy to establish friendly working relations with other clubs and dojo in order to promote and improve understanding about Aikido. Our hope is that through this exchange all students will gain a deeper understanding of the power of the art bequeathed by O'Sensei.

One of the charters of the Takemusu Aiki Association is to encourage recently awarded black belt students to grow and become instructors in their own right, thus enabling the spread of Aikido to a wider section of the community, while maintaining a safe, yet practical learning environment. The Takemusu Aiki Association has grown to include seven dojos. In the Sydney metropolitan area there are dojos at Sydney City, Ku-ring-gai, North Sydney, Bondi Junction, Camperdown and Maroubra Junction, as well as Braidwood in country NSW. All Takemusu Aiki dojos teach the traditional Aikido of the founder Morihei Ueshiba as passed on through Saito Sensei in the Iwama Dojo.
