Ukiah Aikido

"I really love aikido so much with all my heart. Heck, even with all my soul. It has completely changed my life in a very good and powerful way. I have gained a lot more confidence in myself, I am more sane, and I am a lot more happy now. I also have learned a lot of great and helpful life lessons to help me to be a happy and successful person. Aikido is a such an awesome place to make new friends and finding a pathway to peaceful energy and harmony together."

"Best dojo ever!"

"Amazing. My daughter loves it and the instructor's seem to be really in tune with the students."

"With a relaxed, but focused atmosphere, Ukiah Aikido offers a powerful and approachable place to train oneself in practical self-defense, as well as spiritual and personal growth. With capable instructors, friendly and committed students and a large Dojo, Ukiah Aikido is a tremendous opportunity for anyone in this County to train in a martial art for the betterment of themselves and those they know. I recently received my Shodan (first black belt) and find myself more committed than ever and enjoying my practice on an ever deepening level. Aikido is the way of harmonizing with energy, or the Way of the Harmonious Spirit, and offers an approach to self defense that focuses on defeating, rather than developing violence.I have found that what I am learning on the mat applies to my career, my relationships and my spiritual development in ways that continue to deepen and enhance my sense of purpose and enjoyment of life. My gratitude to all who are a part of the Aikido community and my welcome to all who are interested in getting to know this peaceful martial art! Please join me on the Mat at Ukiah Aikido!"
