Atlanta School of Aikido

Aikido is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes circular movements that blends with and redirects an opponents attack. Aikido focuses on using your opponent’s own energy to gain control of them or throw them as opposed to punching or hitting them.

After much practice Aikido reveals itself as an art with many levels, from a method of self-defense, development of physical health, peace of mind or path for greater spiritual awareness.

Classes are taught at the Concourse Athletic Club, in the Perimeter area.

There are NO contracts, NO initiation fees and NO fees for testing.

New students are required to watch at least one class before starting, and visitors are welcome anytime.

Beginners are paired with advanced students for their first few months of training to provide a safe and instructive training experience.

The Atlanta School of Aikido is a style of Aikido that follows the teachings of Shihan Shizuo Imaizumi, and Koichi Tohei’s Ki Society.
