Aikido of Ramapo Valley

Aikido Of Ramapo Valley is a traditional Aikido Dojo established in 1997. It teaches empty-hand Aikido, Aiki-weapons, and Zen meditation. Aikido is a non-competitive martial art based on the principle of merging with an attacker, redirecting the energy, and leading conflict to a peaceful resolution. The Dojo cultivates awareness, mind-body-spirit unification, and deep observation to develop the ability to blend with an incoming force. It aims to let go of the resistive pattern, constantly flow, and intuitively adapt to all circumstances. The Dojo is a member of the United States Aikido Federation and the International Aikido Federation.
