About Our School 

Our training environment is a refreshingly relaxed and fun environment.

We teach adults and children.  Our art is focused on self defense (no sport element).  Training covers empty handed combat, weapons and multiple attacker situations.  Techniques are performed in natural positions.  Defenses are practiced for use against attacks of various schools of martial arts, not just our own style, or unskilled attackers.

Weapons practice is integrated with empty handed practice to assistant in Aikido development.  The jo (short staff), bokken (wooden sword), and tanto (wooden knife) are part of practice at all levels of rank.

Ki Nagare Dojo, LLC is part of the Mid America Aikido Federation (MAAF).  We maintain the integrity of our style with regular visits from Yondan (4th degree black belt) Michael Ellefson Sensei of the Midwest Center for Movement.  Ellefson Sensei's Aikido lineage stems from his studying under the late Bill Sosa Sensei.  Sosa Sensei had been a student of Koichi Tohei Sensei and Isao Takahas hi Sensei, who were each students of the founder Morihei Ueshiba (O Sensei).

Ki Nagare Dojo, LLC offers classes to adults and children.
