Welcome to our Website
Our practice focuses on movement from the center in a spiraling and flowing manner, emphasizing the need to blend with the attacker to provide the energy for the technique. We strive to provide an environment that is both safe and enjoyable to all who wish to join us on our journey.
If you would like to begin training with us, or if you have any questions regarding our Aikido community, please contact Jay Lindholm or stop by and visit. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have as well as share our aikido experiences with you.

We recently finished a seminar with Bill Gleason Sensei of Shobu Aikido in Boston, Massachusetts. Sensei worked the entire weekend on the principle of entering and rotating the spine with proper posture. The key to the movement is to bend your knees and allow the energy to move down your spine. We worked from a variety of attacks each time working to keep our hips facing our partner and rotating the spine without twisting the hips away from our attacker. It was a mind teaser at first but became easier as the weekend progressed. Each movement was based on entering directly into uke’s power and twisting the spine. |

On Sunday Jesse Spears rolled 60 times to celebrate his birthday. Even with the dojo being quite warm due to the recond heat in Texas, Jesse did very well rolling for the many energetic aikidoka who helped with the special birthday rolls. Great Job Jesse and Happy Birthday! |
