Aikido Shugenkai Pleasanton

Aikido Shugenkai Pleasanton Aikido Shugenkai The Pleasanton location is currently closed. It does not say "and to make lots of money for someone". This is not our way.

Our name, "Shugenkai", consists of three parts:

shu: serious, continuous, and life-long practice; a journey with clear direction but without any finishing line

gen: origin, life source, basic element

kai: community of practice; members volunteer to be part of the community;

Shugenkai has some very strong views on the purpose of an Aikido dojo. Our non-profit constitution says we exist to f

urther the development of the mind, body and spirit through the practice of Aikido. While this philosophy is probably found in many other dojo, it is not true of many schools (in various other martial arts) which seem to have the major purpose of extracting money from the students and giving it to the school's owners. Not only are we a federally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization, but we also have a philosophy that says that no one takes any money out of the dojo. No one is paid for any work they do for the dojo, including administration and teaching. All of the funds go back into maintaining and improving our facilities. This is a fairly unusual set up but we like it and think it works. It does mean that we ask for more from our members that just monthly fees - since everyone including the teachers pays them - but we think it makes for a better feeling over all. It means we get a certain kind of people but we like it that way.
