Adult Aikido
Report
Aikido is a way of coordinating both body and mind through the training and discipline of learning technique, thereby energizing the body and increasing awareness. Transformation of self is an outcome of this unique educational system.
Through regular aikido practice we improve balance, learn to manage oneself under pressure, identify options in tight situations, find greater comfort in uncomfortable moments, recognize the impact we have on others, mature as a person, and cultivate "a life well lived."Note: In addition to in-person classes, Regular Members are also granted access to online learning resources through our Dojo Online.

Children's Aikido
Report
Allow children to learn basic martial arts principles of movement and the self-defense techniques of Aikido. Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). He was a powerful man who mastered many martial arts, yet had a firm devotion to peace. He said, [Aikido] is not a technique to fight with, or to defeat the enemy.
Iaido
Report
Iaido develops focused yet relaxed concentration, as we move from stillness to action and back to stillness, in the presence of a live blade. We are accepting applications for a limited number of new students to join the Iaido program. We have two Iaido class sections, one held on Mondays and one held on and Fridays.
