Aikido is a non-competitive martial art, appropriate for people of all genders, ages, and abilities.
We train in a spirit of cooperation and support, maintain small class sizes, and provide all students with individualized and personal instruction.

Bob Sweeney taught a class yesterday on Bokken Dori; he did a great job hitting core principles and working with a mixed class of new and experienced students.
What...you don't know what Bokken Dori is? Come out to Moerushin Aikido and see!
Aikido Update, Thursday, Jan 29: no class tonight! Even if you can get to the dojo, roads are refreezing. Stay safe and warm everyone! This is a great opportunity to practice Jo Kata or work on balance, flexibility, or meditation.
No class today, Saturday Jan. 24, due to ice and snow. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Hey all; no class tonight, Wednesday, August 20! Classes resume Saturday!
Thought for the day: ukemi isn't just falling. It is literally the "receiving body." If you adopt this mindset, every fall is like the earth being your own personal masseuse.
