Dear Dojo Members,
I would like to thank all who helped with the dojo painting project. The
members showed lots of spirit and tenacity in completing this project in
such a thorough and beautiful way. The dojo has never looked so good! It is a
reflection of how we practice and conversely, how we apply aiki principles
to the mundane.
With Love and Appreciation,
BB

Aikido is a peaceful non-competitive, Japanese martial art that uses
graceful movements to neutralize an attack. Aikido training improves
your physical ability, stamina, sensitivity and centeredness. The basics
are practiced in a supportive environment with careful instruction and
mutual cooperation. Aikido is fully engaging. Through training, the philosophy,
technique, self-awareness and spirit merge. Aikido is practiced by men
and women of all ages and can be adjusted to your current physical condition.
With regular practice everyone sees progress. The practice of Aikido
tempers the spirit and helps you to be more effective in your daily life.
If you want a great workout, in a friendly environment where the focus
is on personal growth, come to the dojo (training hall) at the Seattle
Holistic Center, 7700 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103.
