Welcome

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art developed by Morihei Ueshiba. By blending his peaceful philosophical beliefs with his broad experience of Japanese Budo, he discovered an art of peaceful reconciliation. Physical strength is not required to use these techniques of self-defense, and along the way there is no predicting what you may discover about yourself. Non-competitive and not for profit, the dojo of Nashville Aikikai welcomes students of all levels.

We're based in Nashville, Tennessee and affiliated with Aikido Schools of Ueshiba.

NEXT INTRODUCTORY CLASS STARTS MONDAY,

July 7, 2008 AT 6:30 PM

Nashville Aikikai offers an eight week Introductory Class for people with no previous aikido experience.   Classes meet every Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00 PM..  Students are encouraged, but not required, to start at or near the beginning of a session.  Please wear loose-fitting clothing, such as a T-shirt and long sweatpants.  There is no need to preregister.  Please arrive at least 30 minutes before class on the first day to allow time for paperwork.  We look forward to seeing you at the dojo!
