The Association Champenoise d’Aïkido (ACA) is a nonprofit sports association founded in 1995 under the direction of Alain Herbette and Jacques Jahin. Based in Champagne-sur-Oise, France, it practices and teaches aikido, promoting the martial art and its development. The association welcomes people interested in learning about aikido, martial arts, and Japanese culture, and invites prospective members to visit its dojo.

The ACA offers classes for children aged 6–11, teenagers aged 12–14, and adults aged 15 and over. Training includes unarmed techniques and weapons practice, with a focus on neutralizing aggression rather than defeating an opponent; the club does not hold competitions. Teen and adult memberships include a monthly weapons class, and fees cover insurance, association dues, and a federation licence. Newcomers can try two classes free, and online membership and pre-registration are available. The association also shares information about local aikido stages, its own events, instructors, schedules, and contact details. Its dojo is in Champagne-sur-Oise, with an entrance at 12 Rue de Welwyn.
