Asheville Aikikai

Asheville Aikikai has been bringing the Aikido spirit to Asheville since 1983. Aikido is a non-violent martial art that allows practitioners to harmonize and redirect an attacker's force. This practice not only enhances physical abilities such as power, agility, speed, coordination, and flexibility, but also fosters personal growth, self-confidence, and awareness. The dojo welcomes individuals aged 14 and up, offering a space for both beginners and advanced practitioners to develop their skills. Whether one seeks self-defense, personal development, or fitness, Asheville Aikikai provides a supportive environment for all.
