Welcome to Aiki Budo Life

Aikido develops an energy we all have, “ki.” Using our ki in harmony with an opposing energy magnifies the speed and effectiveness of the applied defense.  

 We teach the use of Aiki (harmonizing energies) in self defense and in everyday life.  Continue reading then schedule a Dojo tour to learn more.

Aikibudo Training Programs

ADULT PROGRAM

Aikido requires minimal physical strength and is perfect for older adults. The Aikido practitioner “leads” the attacker’s momentum and is performed by redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. Aikido techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks.

YOUTH PROGRAM

The Youth program teach discipline and helps students build confidence by integrating self-defense techniques, conditioning with skill oriented activities and fun designed to improve your child’s motor skills, agility and flexibility. The most famous Aikido Instructor in the World is the Actor Steven Segal.

WEAPONS PROGRAM

Learn Korindo Aikido, Daito-Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu, and Aiki Weapons taught by the U.S.’s top ranked sensei John Goss, 7th dan Korindo Aikido.  Aikido weapons training with bokken (wooden sword) and jo (wooden staff) is commonly referred to in Aikido circles as Aiki-ken and Aiki-jo practice.
