Tanshinjuku, began his
practice of Aikido in Tokyo,
Japan, at Aikikai Hombu Dojo
in 1969, under the later Doshu
Kisshomaru Ueshiba, a week

Aikikai Aikido is the style of
Aikido that is directly affiliated
with the Aikikai Foundation in
Japan, the organization
founded by Morihei Ueshiba,
the creator of Aikido. This style
is often considered as
‘mainstream’ Aikido and is
practiced worldwide. It
emphasizes flowing, circular
movements and techniques
that use the opponent’s
energy against them.

Japanese Taiko Drumming
Iaido is a traditional Japanese martial art that places significant emphasis on the aesthetic and spiritual aspects of swordsmanship. It is often described as a form of “moving Zen” due to its meditative qualities.
The practitioner performs a series of kata (predetermined forms) against an imaginary opponent, allowing them to perfect their technique while also cultivating an inner calm and mental discipline. Each movement in iaido is precise and deliberate, reflecting the high level of skill and concentration required.

Yoga
We offer three different types of yoga classes that happen every day.
Hatha Yoga
Vinyasa Yoga
Yin Yoga
Hatha Yoga is often considered the root of all yoga styles and focuses on physical postures, known as asanas, and breath control. It is typically slower paced and makes it an excellent choice for beginners or those seeking a more meditative, grounded practice.
Vinyasa Yoga, also known as “flow yoga,” is characterized by smooth, flowing sequences of asanas synchronized with the breath. Vinyasa classes are typically more dynamic and physically challenging, making them popular with those seeking a more active workout.
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style that emphasizes holding postures for extended periods, typically from three to five minutes. This style of yoga is often used to increase flexibility and improve joint mobility, while also encouraging a meditative focus and an inner sense of peace.
