Aikido is more than the study of physical techniques; proper etiquette, attitude and behavior are also stressed. The basic movements of aikido are circular in nature. The student trains to harmonize with, rather than confront an aggressive line of force and converts it into a circular motion that renders attackers helpless. Aikido is not a sport and hence there are no competitive tournaments. As traditional Japanese budo, aikido maintains the qualities of martial spirit, effective technique and intense training. This, coupled with the premise of mutual respect and caring, promotes the important balance between attacker and defender and the focus on unifying mind, body and spirit.
Beginning anything new can be challenging. At the dojo, we hope to make this procees easy. Just come and watch a class, ask questions, become familiar with what we do and how we do it, and then try our 6 week introductory program. You will begin your classes working with senior students who will help guide you through basic prinicipals, and you will be supported and encouraged every stop of the way. No contracts, no additional fees, no unifroms required. See details about our introductory program below.
