Getting Started

Why the Aikido Academy is an unique place to learn martial arts?

"It is different from other martial arts and yet it incorporates the basic elements of many martial arts. Perhaps its most unusual aspect is that it is a creative, analytical art requiring its practitioners to think! Although, like any martial art Aikido has many combative techniques, it is also an art form. You will learn to appreciate the creative body movement and smooth flowing footwork necessary for mastery of the art."

-Steven A. Weber, Go-Dan
