What we practice

Aikido is a budo, drawn from traditional Japanese arts.

In Aikido we put great focus on movement, balance, posture, and your state of mind, and how this influences your connection with others. We look inwards to make changes in ourselves, so we can lead others to change.

Instruction is focused both on the basic principles of Aikido and their applications in technique. Above all, it is taught at your level of ability. Read more about our practice and instructors.
