Preserving the Spirit of Aikido
As handed down to us by Saito Shihan, from O-Sensei.
Embrace the Spirit of Takemusu Aiki
At our dojos, we cultivate more than just physical techniques; we nurture the spirit of “Takemusu” – the spontaneous creation of effective Aikido in any situation. This is the pinnacle of Aikido practice, where mind, body, and spirit unite in perfect harmony.
Why Choose Our Aikido Association?
- Authentic Lineage: We are dedicated to preserving the complete system of Aikido as developed by O’Sensei in Iwama, including both unarmed techniques (taijutsu) and weapons training (bukiwaza).
- Holistic Training: Experience the unique integration of sword (bokuto), staff (jo), and knife (tanto) techniques alongside unarmed practice, understanding how they all interconnect.
- Inclusive Community: Help us build a diverse family of practitioners, where sincerity and enjoyment go hand in hand. All levels of experience are welcome!
- Martial Focus: Delve into the martial aspects of Aikido, including practical applications and the use of atemi (strikes), while adhering to the principle of harmony.
- Continuous Growth: Through intensive kihon (basics) practice, each training session offers a chance to refine your skills and connect more deeply with the art.
