Mindful practice for all levels
Welcome
Coyote Dojo is home to Aikido of the Monadnock Region, located in Gilsum, New Hampshire (just 8½ miles/12 min north of Keene on NH-12).
What is Aikido?
Aikido focuses on cultivating peace within you and around you, not fighting.
Both a martial art and a movement art, Aikido is dedicated to the peaceful resolution of conflict. Through regular practice you'll learn footwork, strikes, and counters — finding ways to blend with and neutralize an oncoming attack. You'll learn to fall, roll, and recover safely and gracefully. Over time you'll develop greater fitness, coordination, balance, flexibility, and calm under pressure.

Where does practice lead?
The founder of Aikido considered Takemusu Aiki to be the highest expression of the art. The word combines take(martial) and musu (to be born) — pointing toward technique that arises spontaneously, without active thought, as pure movement.
Training passes through four stages: basic technique, flexible technique, flowing technique, and finally Takemusu Aiki. The founder believed this level is attainable by anyone willing to practice.
