The Art of Peace begins with you.
Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone
has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You
are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.
Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter
-Morihei Ueshiba

The Dojo as a Sacred Place
Our great need for the Dojo, which waits out there empty and unused, for us to return each day, is what gives it its purpose as a sacred place.
– Kazuo Chiba Shihan
Start Your Aikido Journey
To get started, we suggest you visit the dojo first to observe a class. This will give you a feeling for the environment of a traditional dojo and a chance to ask any questions you might have.
Check the schedule for a class that is convenient for you.
