| Welcome to Aiki Zenshin Dojo |
Aikido, the modern martial art! Aikido is an effective, nonviolent system of self-defense. In fact, many police agencies throughout the world include aikido techniques in their arrest tactics training. Yet the founder of aikido, Moreihei Ueshiba Sensei, talked of his creation as the art of peace and reconciliation. He often commented that the primary goal of aikido was to make better human beings. At Aiki Zenshin Dojo we strive to honor the vision of Ueshiba Sensei. I hope that you will take time to check out our web site and the links that we have included. If you have any questions, feel free to send e-mail or give me a call. Foremost, I cordially invite you to visit our Dojo, observe any of our classes, and get a feeling for our community.

I had a truly wonderful time with my South Austin Aikido buddies and visitors from dojos in San Antonio, Houston and Mission, TX . The weekend seemed to move at warp speed. On Thursday evening, with a twinkle in my eye, I ‘announced’ that my goal for the seminar was to take them to the edges of their comfort zones and I believe that I succeeded I send a BIG thank you to Jay Lindholm Sensei and the South Austin Aikido community_ instructors, students and family members. Thank you for your hard work, your openness to new ideas, your warm hearts, your smiles and laughter, and your generosity. You hold a special place in my heart!

. I chatted on the phone with Todd Kammerer while I was waiting to board the plane and he commented as to how “spanked” he was. He thought that the mental exertion perhaps tired him out as much as the spirited physical training. I have to agree, I’m pretty whooped too! As a group we examined our belief systems regarding forms, energetic connection, power / strength, physical-ness and the concept of ‘aiki’. [Cool…just flew over the Grand Canyon.] To examine any belief system we need to allow room for other possibilities and temporarily suspend the comfort of our ‘knowing.’ This process can be exhilarating and stressful. We definitely surfed our edges and as the wave-riders say, “it’s all good!” | < Prev | Next > |
