Shudokan Aikido is a founding member of the Shudokan Aikido Association, a group of traditional Japanese style martial arts schools established in 2004. For almost 20 years we have been teaching traditional Aikiki Aikido following the teaching of Morihei Ueshiba (known as O’Sensei) and his direct disciple, Hiroshi Kato Sensei (8th Dan). We emphasize effective self-defense, personal discipline and a solid understanding of Aikido principals.

What is Aikido? Using pinning techniques, joint locking techniques, and throws, Aikido involves interesting and challenging methods of dealing with aggression and using that same aggression to control the opponent. Our training is cooperative and we believe in safety and concern for our training partners as well as effectiveness.

Aikido is practiced by men, women and children around the world. Because Aikido does not require great strength, it is considered good for women, and children. It is good for all ages and everyone trains to the level of their physical condition and ability. Aikido is also a good method for stress relief, weight management, and exercise.
