Experience Taiko at the Australian Taiko Academy! 🥁

26/05/2026

From absolute beginners to rhythm masters in just 4 weeks! 🥁✨Huge congratulations to our current Beginners class! Over the last four weeks, these amazing drummers—most of whom had never even touched a Taiko drum before—have completely stepped up to the challenge. They’ve already learned some powerful, traditional rhythms from Yataibayashi! The energy and dedication in the Dojo has been absolutely incredible.
Missed the first few weeks? You can still join us! We love welcoming mid-term enrollments, and our team is ready to help you catch up easily. Whether you want to boost your fitness, challenge your coordination, or just try something completely unique this winter, the drums are waiting for you.

🗓️ Classes run every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning.

📍 Located at our Ultimo Dojo.

Spaces are available for a mid-term start! Click the Momence link below to book your first session and join our vibrant drumming community:

Spirit over Heat! 🔥
Last Sunday, 12 members of Sydney Onikenbai took to the stage in Chatswood to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Despite the sweltering 36-degree heat, the spirit of the demon sword dance was stronger than ever! 👹⚔️
