What is Aikido?
Why Kitsap Aikido?
Why Kitsap Aikido?
Aikido is a Japanese martial art, dedicated to the art of managing conflict. Developed by Founder Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking your opponent, but rather on using their energy to gain control. It is not a static art, but places great emphases on motion and dynamics of movement.
Aikido practice is strenuous, but not violent; demanding but not rough. It is manifested through smooth spiral movements with no sense of conflict between partners, with no winners or losers. There is no competition in Aikido, no matches, no sparring.
Our focus is to derail the aggressors’ movement by unbalancing and redirecting their efforts. This philosophy makes aikido different.
Why Kitsap Aikido?

Why Kitsap Aikido?
What makes Kitsap Aikido different is the leadership and personal commitment from sensei. They teach discipline, endurance, personal responsibility, confidence, positivity, self-assurance, respect, poise, martial form and growth at all levels. Both are kind but firm. Both are committed to “Tadashi”, doing the right thing from the heart.
Kitsap Aikido is unique because Kitsap Aikido is a community. Unlike many dojos, once you become a member of Kitsap Aikido, you become part of a group of people that look out and care for each other both on and off the mat.
Members’ ages range from five to 80, with training history from 0 days to 30 years. All are welcome.
