Classes in Aikido and Iaido are offered in a spacious and safe environment. The mat is specially constructed of a wood-sprung base with foam cushioning and a canvas cover. Everyone gives 100% in trying to learn Ai
kido. But everyone trains to their own ability - and with their own body. We have old, young, strong and weak students. Whatever your situation, you can probably practice Aikido. In Aikido we train within our own limits. And because there is no competition, our only obstacle is ourselves. Our chief instructor at Eugene Aikikai is Stephen Thoms, Sensei. Eugene Aikikai, its instructor and students, are members of Birankai North America, formerly USAF Western Region. Founded by T.K. Chiba, Shihan, (8th Dan). Eugene Aikikai is sponsored by Mike Flynn, Sensei, 6th Dan, Shihan. Mike Flynn Sensei, formerly the chief instructor of Alameda Aikikai, is now the chief instructor of Thistle Aikikai in Scotland.
