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.
