Aikido is a discipline and an educational process for training the mind, body, and spirit. Physical technique is not the true objective, but a tool for personal refinement and spiritual development. It unifies the mind, body, and spirit and is codified in its name: Aikido: Ai (harmony) Ki (universal Energy) Do (the way): literally translating to the way of unifying Energy. As with any true path the only way to expand one’s understand is through self-discovery.

To cultivate each student’s unique and highest potential of physical and internal self, within the principles taught by O-Sensei (founder of Aikido). We do not teach our students a certain ‘style’ they must conform to, or prohibit their ability to be exposed to things. We teach the value of freedom in self-exploration, the difference between technique and principles, and how technique & movements can vary some, while principles are universal.
