Aikido of Madison

Aikido of Madison Offering classes in Aikido – the art of peace – for adults and kids since 1984. Saotome Sensei has been teaching Aikido in the United States since 1975.

Aikido of Madison is a member of Aikido Schools of Ueshiba, an organization headed by Master Mitsugi Saotome, a personal student of O-Sensei for 15 years. We who practice Aikido in Madison consider ourselves fortunate to be able to train under an inspiring teacher who was so close to the founder of Aikido. Aikido Schools of Ueshiba is in turn associated with the International Aikido Federation, whose headquarters is in Tokyo, Japan, and whose current head is Moriteru Ueshiba, the grandson of the Founder.

There's more to joining a dojo than training in a martial art. It's a third space outside of work, where you can make new friends and build connections in your community! Here's a recent photo of some of our members enjoying a well earned after class lunch!😊

Sunday funday! When people watch Aikido they are often watching nage(the person throwing) but that's only half of Aikido the other half is uke (receiving technique/being throw) which can be equally as fun and exciting! Learning how to fall from various situations can keep you safe in your everyday life. Demonstrated here is koshi-nage which translates to hip throw.
