POULSBO AIKIDO DOJO

This school of Aikido has its basis in the Tomiki and Hombu methods of Aikido and has been futher developed by Zantotsu Ryu Aikijujutsu. The focus at this school is the use off-balance and recovery (the fall and rise in a humans' movement) through the use of space-condition, entering and merging. Most of the techniques are done with throws and/or joint manipulation. This is not a punch-kick martial art. A large part of Aikido's roots are in Daito Ryu Aikijutsu and Kito Ryu Jujutsu. Many Aikido schools are known to be focused on the esoteric and spiritual - we place our focus elsewhere, on the aspects of technique, history and applied philosophy knowing that the formerly mentioned will naturally evolve through the practice of the latter.

Aikido is a non-aggressive (yet assertive) way. We study to help each other to improve his/her understanding and realization of self, and how that interacts with all life. We present a strong self-defense approach.

Seven Virtues of Budo
