Center Point Aikido

Center Point Aikido is a traditional Aikido Dojo. In an increasingly violent society, learning an effective martial art is an appealing and empowering alternative. There’s a quiet confidence that comes from learning how to deal with violence effectively, and yet choosing to be peaceful. Practicing Aikido is about attaining an understanding of balance on all levels: mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, social, and cosmic. Aikido does not focus on punching or kicking opponents and does not rely on physical size or strength. Its techniques enable practitioners to subdue opponents much stronger than themselves without inflicting injury. Aikido training develops a calm mind, relaxed body, flexibility, strength without aggression, and a vibrant integration of body, mind, and spirit. We teach traditional Aikido as handed down by the Founder, emphasizing Aikido’s philosophy and ethics while teaching its full range of capabilities.
