The Aikido Center

An Aikido dojo. It offers traditional training for young people and adults in Sacramento. Classes introduce physical techniques for resolving conflict without aggression, including ways to anticipate, enter, and guide an attack toward a peaceful resolution. The practice also develops body and mind through Aikido movements and forms. Personal protection is a possible application of the techniques, while the center describes it as a by-product of long-term practice. The dojo follows the teachings of Aikido founder Ueshiba Morihei O Sensei and trains in a non-competitive, non-violent environment. Offerings include a beginning Aikido course and youth introductory classes. The center also hosts seminars, including one with Linda Holiday Sensei.
