Classes in our dojo (school) teach you the grace of a dancer, the coordination of an athlete and the timing of a musician in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. We will teach you a complete method of self-defense, but we will also teach you self-confidence, better concentration, wellness, stress relief, positive mind, grace in movement, relaxation, and conflict resolution.
Aikido literally means a method (do) of coordinating (ai) one’s life force or spirit (ki). This Japanese martial art uses an attacker’s own energy against him to effect throws and pins. There is no kicking and punching, and you don’t have to be physically strong to become proficient at this art.

We offer special classes for children and teens, and for beginners we have a special basics class.
If you would like to visit our dojo, please call to schedule an appointment. If you are in the area while we have a class in session you may stop in and observe the class and pick up a membership packet.
