Tenjiku Aikido

What's Aikido

Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art, was developed in the early part of this century by Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei (1883-1969). The famous motto of O'Sensei, “Masakatsu Agatsu,” contains the essence of Aikido: “True victory is victory over the self.” Aikido is truly budo — a martial Way — rather than simply a bujutsu (“martial technique”) or bugei (“martial art”). When martial training is undertaken not simply as a means to conquer others, but as a means to refine and perfect the self, this can be said to be budo.

At Tenjiku Aikido

Everyone is welcome including beginners and kids over 5 years all.

Our lessons are bilingual English and Japanese for both Kids and adults classes. We find it is a great way to immerse them in a new language at the same time they develop their motor skills and body awareness while practicing in a safe group environment. Through the martial practice of Aikido they also learn etiquette and how to listen not only with their ears but also with their minds and bodies so they can develop a sense of respect for their peers and all that surrounds them.
