NH-Aikido Ohana

Aikido is The Way of Spiritual Harmony. Aikido is a modern Japanese martial "art" unique in its synthesis of classical forms with a well-defined spiritual base - offering a key to the art of living naturally and unselfishly in a increasingly complicated world. Our dojo the Nishi-Aikido Ohana, is a small club, training in a thoughtful, friendly, environment, dedicated to the study of Aikido. The founder of Aikido taught us that Aikido practice should be done with a joyful spirit and we have adopted this message as a central precept of our club.  Aikido at the Nishi-Aikido Ohana is practiced in a joyful, supportive, non-competitive environment.  We believe that by training to joyfully blend with aggression towards us on the mat, we will learn to meet the challenges of life with a positive, non-combative spirit.
