Aikido Seishinkai

While most martial arts can teach you self-confidence, alertness and provide a certain sense of competence and safety, I have found Aikido to be the most intelligent system of forms of a physical confrontation system. Aikido is working from the perspective that permanently injuring your opponent may not be the wisest course of action to set in motion, yet it is still a martial art and must be rooted in the physical body. I find class to remind me that martial arts is about training the mind to be focused. Sensei Hewson is an example and teaches with both the background of old Bushido and modern Western essence; having the sensitivity to be both gentle and stern as an instructor. The assistant instructors are committed to Aikido (and many have training in other martial arts) and can help point out in various ways where the gaps are in your existing technique as well as teach beginners with patience.Nox dojo is also a friendly place with Sensei Sean being a very welcoming guy.

Traditional Dojo atmosphere with great training partners.
