Boulder Ki Aikido Martial Arts

"I love practicing Aikido at One Dojo. As an older woman, I feel more stronger, balanced, focused, and healthier, because of the physical, mental, philosophical underpinnings/spiritual, and community aspects of training. Sensei Villacorta is a masterful teacher and a kind supportive human. I am honored and privileged to be apart of the One Dojo community. If you are like me, you have told yourself, I am too old, too inflexible, too weak, too uncoordinated to begin Aikido -- it is not true. The training is designed to develop greater flexibility, strength, and overall levels of general fitness."

"Thank you so much, Sensei! I am so grateful to receive your welcome and guidance. My daughter and I are enjoying spending time studying together. Thank you for the positive energy, as well as the warm welcome, family like environment, and wonderful instruction. I feel like I’ve arrived at the right place at the right time and am alive in my body, again."

"Lifelong impact of positivity, patience, and self-confidence. My children joined Boulder Ki Aikido Martial Arts in 2023 and are passionate about their practice. Already they have learned so much in terms of skills and discipline, along with body awareness and empowerment. Sensei Abel has a compelling energy that is inclusive and inviting, along with discipline and respect. Sensei models kindness and focus, with supportive encouragement and care. We are very grateful for this opportunity to learn from such a dedicated and expert teacher."

"I can’t express enough gratitude to Boulder Ki Aikido. We had tried a few studios in Boulder and this was the first one that my son begged to go back to and was consistently eager to show me everything he learned. The balance of challenge with kindness, respect, and discipline was exactly what my son was looking for. Hands down, the best Martial Arts Boulder has to offer!"

"Best Boulder Martial Arts spot! I joined Boulder Ki Aikido in September of 2021 and it has been and continues to be a deeply transformative journey. Aikido is truly a unique discipline of self-discovery and of unifying mind and body. Our Head Instructor, Abel Villacorta Sensei, brings together such a positive and encouraging community, while also guiding you in a disciplined practice. I have met so many wonderful people and made so many great friends since becoming part of Boulder Ki Aikido. If you are looking for community, mind-body discipline, or some deeper sense of purpose, I highly recommend giving Aikido a try."
