Oslo Aikido Dojo was founded in Oslo on June 16. 2003 by Erik Vanem and Pedram Bagheri. We are now located at Eikenga 17, which is an industial area between Hasle and Økern. See the schedule for our classes.
In addition to the ordinary training program, we organize annual seminars with Kuribayashi Shihan (7th dan, Hombu Dojo). Every second year we organize the Oslo Aikido festival with instructors from all the Oslo dojos.
The logo at the upper left corner of the web page is the trademark of Oslo Aikido Dojo and is designed by the club. The official opening and first practice were held on July 18th 2003 in a dojo located at Alexander Kiellands Plass. In 2004 we moved to Bryn where we stayed for 12 years. In 2016 we moved to our current location at Eikenga, between Hasle and Økern. We have spacious facilities and access to showers, our own wardrobes and a small recreational area. The mat area is about 140 m2 with traditional tatami.
The dojo’s highest authority is the general annual member meeting (Årsmøte), which appoints the members of the executive board for the next year. Day-to-day management is done by this appointed board and the instructor team is responsible for the technical aspects of aikido instruction as well as grading.
