THE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art (Budo) created and developed by Morihei Ueshiba O Sensei (1883-1969). It can be practiced by those of virtually any age and ability. There’s no competition. Instead, training is collaborative with the more advanced practitioners helping beginners learn the art in the most appropriate, efficient, and individual way.

Forge your mind and body through Aikido’s system of throws, locks, and pinning techniques, while you improve your self-confidence, mental focus, physical fitness, balance, coordination, and awareness.

Join the dojo for the physical practice of this traditional Japanese Budo, and to connect and interact with others in a positive and meaningful way. There’s nothing like the feeling of practicing Aikido.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

“Excellent balance of the martial and spiritual aspects of Aikido, which are a practical form of self-defense for anyone. Members are an eclectic mix of great people.”

“I’m in my sixties and it keeps me moving, active, and it’s an absolute joy to come and work out. I always feel good, and it’s taught me to move in a way I never thought I would. I’m much more flexible and it’s one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.”

“Aikido has helped me develop myself physically and mentally. It helps me in my day to day interactions with people and challenges me to think and act with courage. The instructors here have the knowledge and passion to explain why we do things, instead of only how to do them. The people here have become part of my family.”

“I think Aikido is a very effective, subtle, and graceful martial art. It encourages personal growth and helps us better our physical and spiritual lives. Aikido increases my self-awareness and confidence, and it has deepened my ability to connect to others…a valuable quality I use in my everyday life.”

“I find Aikido to be a martial art that offers mindful exercise. Having prior martial arts experience, to me Aikido offers that next level of skill, flexibility, and awareness that can be taken into my personal and professional life. I also believe it helps us stay youthful in mind and body, and with that we can persevere.”

“To me, practicing aikido is like working in the garden. First you toil with the weeds and dirt, then taking a break, you see a little flower that has bloomed and you think, “Wow, how beautiful.” That’s when you realize that a garden grows more than plants. I like to practice aikido with other people who are very good gardeners.”

“Great place to practice Aikido for all levels. Friendly and welcoming people, and focused on authentic training – I can’t recommend them highly enough. Well worth a visit and loving the new dojo!”
