Hands on art activities in Ironwood, Michigan

Welcome to Ironwood Aikido Club, your premier destination for exploring the art of Aikido in Ironwood, Michigan. Located at 100 West Aurora Street, our club is more than just a gym; it is a community dedicated to the practice and philosophy of Aikido, a martial art that emphasizes harmony, balance, and self-improvement. At Ironwood Aikido Club, we focus on the fundamental principles of Aikido, which include irimi (entering), atemi (striking), kokyu-ho (breathing control), sankaku-ho (triangular principle), and tenkan (turning) movements. These techniques are designed to redirect an opponent's momentum and energy, allowing practitioners to neutralize attacks with minimal effort. Our curriculum features a blend of throws, joint locks, and a comprehensive weapons system that includes the bokken (wooden sword), tantō (knife), and jō (staff).
