Shinjitsu Dojo

Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba, better known as O-Sensei. After many years of his dedication to training in classical fighting arts, Aikido was created. It has become one of the most renowned martial arts in the world, teaching its practitioners the “Way of Harmony” as a life’s path.

Aikido uses the attacker’s energy in a non-resistant flow of energy. One learns to blend with the attack unlike a harder style of martial arts.  This is why Aikido is practiced by men and women of all ages, all over the world  Aikido also helps us develop our minds as well as our bodies, which helps to maintain physical and mental health. Aikido’s goal is to control the attacker without being harmful to them.

Each Aikido organization within the Aikikai has its own flavor so to speak, but are not considered different styles.  Although there are different style such as Tomiki and Yoshinkan, these styles were created by students of O-Sensei.  Some believe this reflects how O-Sensei’s teachings changed through out his life. At Shinjitsu Dojo we study Aikikai Aikido.

In Aikido everyone does the same practice, and in universally identified.

Our Dojo trains in a traditional and practical form of Aikido. We believe that when you no longer maintain tradition, the group becomes more a social club than a time for learning and practicing. At Shinjitsu Dojo, Aikido classes consists of training open hand and with traditional Aikido weapons. After time you will build and gain confidence while learning applicable self defense skills in a safe environment.

We maintain the highest training standards. Our programs are developed so each individual can progress at their own rate of growth.  All classes are conducted by the Chief Instructor. Students are encouraged to use Aikido as a vehicle to express and free themselves from any limitations they may have. The form of Aikido practiced at our dojo is very technical, and maintains its art form and is most practical.

Aikido is a very powerful martial that takes time to learn.  As important, enjoy each and every step on your path and you too will enjoy the physical and mental benefits of training in Aikido. In addition to bulding self-confidence, reduce stress and learn self defense skills.
