Aikido is your journey
Train at your own pace
Everyone’s journey through Aikido is a unique experience unto themselves. The way in which each student learns and practices Aikido creates their own experience. Every class offers many new techniques to learn and more ways to understand your connection to Aikido. The way in which you can train will be guided by your own body and thus your Aikido experience will be unique to you. The instructor and your fellow students are there to help you on your journey, but ultimately what you learn and how you experience the art will be guided by how you approach your training.
