What is required of our students - Work as a community, complete awareness, true commitment to self, dojo and other students, train intensely, do no harm.
Our Sensei recommends that if you are interested in the Aikijutsu program, that you would be best prepared if you begin your training in the Aikido program. In order to prepare your body for the rigorous physical training accompanied with the Aikijutsu class, the majority of our current students train in both programs to maintain flexibility and physical fitness as well as gain from the philosophical benefits that aikido brings into ones life.
If you are looking for a classic old style Japanese martial art this class is for you. It is a non-competitive, safe martial art practice where we study and train to protect rather then destroy, we train to evolve as human beings.
