For Your Health

Many people are surprised at the amount of exercise received in an Aikido class. With a style that is built around protection with minimal strength and effort you need to look at the other side of practice. It is the role of the attacker where people receive their conditioning. In this roll you most control your movement for your protection, test the technique (and escape if able), and to quickly return to you feet.

One of our students put it best "My friends keep asking me how I am loosing weight, and I tell them I fall down and get up, I fall down and get up..."

For Your Protection

Aikido is a martial focused on self defense. It is not a sport with competition or rules, it is concerned about anything goes attacks. The techniques are simple and direct means to gain control of an attacker.

For Your Sanity

Students of Aikido maintain a Zen like attitude while executing techniques. Exercises and techniques teach students to keep their bodies relaxed and minds clear. You are taught not to clash or brace with aggression, but to merge with it and manipulate it.

With regular practice these abilities transfer into your daily life. You develop the ability to instantly shed stress. You prevent people from getting under your skin.

To Make Friends That Are More Like Family

Our school is made up all types of people. Groups of people that may have never met without Aikido, but through a connection in class will regularly get together and have fun. Being part of our school is being part of a community.

For Depth of Study

Aikido is something you can practice for a lifetime. You will not run out of things to practice. Even the most advanced practitioners consider themselves students, constantly striving to perfect their art. With our school instructor having 16 years of practice, and regular interaction from his instructors (with over another decade of training) there is no shortage of material to cover.
