Now is the time. This summer from June 1st until the end of August come train with us for half of our usual monthly membership, as long as you have a student id (ages 13 and up). This is perfect for:

College students looking to try a martial art.

High schoolers looking to develop a new skill set or wanting to push themselves to do something new.

Students struggling with anxiety.

Students that have graduated high school and are looking to learn some self defense before leaving for college.

Students that have been bullied and are looking at ways to defend themselves.

Aikido is a magnificent martial art that teaches you how to use a larger opponents aggression against themselves. Everyone at our dojo is there to help and will train at your speed. For any questions call Troy at 502-544-6166.

We had an amazing friendship seminar with our friends at Kentuckiana Aikikai, followed up with a Kagami Baraki celebration last night. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special.

Huge thanks to Troop 365 for coming out and learning some self defense techniques. It looked like everyone had a great time and learned a lot. You guys were a fantastic group of people to train with and we look forward to doing this again.

Congratulations to everyone that tested last night. It takes a lot of guts to get up and push yourself in front of a crowd. Well done!
