Dear Friends,
as of March 16th, 2020, our dojo will be closed until further noticed. However, we will be meeting, weather permitting, in the parking lot by the dojo door for outside, open air, socially distanced, Aikido oriented training and exercise. This will include stretching and movement exercise as well as jo and bokken kata (staff and wooden sword solo practice). With plenty of space between us, and good fresh air, this will be a great way to get exercise, de-stress, clear mind, refine body and move in a positive direction! This will be a free and open class for adults (12 and up) so bring a friend. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 6 PM and Saturdays at 11:00 AM to noon. Approximately 1 hour of class time. We hope to see you there!
Aikido has been called, “The Way of Peace”. Its practice involves precise movement, falls, throws, locks and dynamic "blending" techniques that seek to neutralize the "attack" using a minimum of force. Great size or strength is not needed to effectively control the oncoming force. Aikido is a powerful martial art. Yet the philosophy behind Aikido emphasizes non-violence
and conflict resolution.
For many of us at the dojo, Aikido is moving meditation and an important part of our daily practice. Aikido helps us to develop inner strength and the ability to move with balance, grace and clarity. It is an extremely challenging martial art, great exercise and lots of fun.
We have five classes each week for adults of any age, and kid's classes on Saturdays. Feel free to stop by and watch any class, or take a free class during our regular class hours. You can start your study of Aikido anytime. We are great at accommodating beginners of different ages and varying levels of physical conditioning and ability. We also offer quarterly 8 class Introductions to Aikido. Check out our "Getting Started" page and “Events” page for more information. We hope to see you on the mat!
