ARV was established in 1997 as a traditional Aikido Dojo, committed to teaching and promoting the martial art of Aikido as a way of life. Our Dojo is open seven days a week, offering classes for adults and children. We teach empty-hand Aikido, Aiki-weapons, and Zen meditation (eiryuji.com).
Aikido is a non-competitive martial art, based on the principle of merging with an attacker, redirecting the energy, and skillfully leading conflict to a peaceful resolution.Developing the ability to blend with an incoming force requires the cultivation of awareness, mind-body-spirit unification, and deep observation.

About Aikido
Report
Aikido is a Japanese martial art which was founded on the principles of harmony and non-resistance. It is a very effective way of self defense, which does not rely on size or physical strength. Ultimately it is the energy of theattack itself which brings down the attacker. Aikido gives us means by which to challenge and refine our self, to examine our weaknesses and to discover our potential.
