BREMERTON AIKIDO DOJO

This school of Aikido has its basis in the Tomiki and Hombu methods of Aikido and has been futher developed by the Zan-totsu Ryu. The focus at this school is the use off-balance and recovery (the fall and rise in a humans' movement) through the use of space-condition, entering and merging. Most of the techniques are done with throws and/or joint manipulation. This is not a punch-kick martial art. A large part of Aikido's roots are in Daito Ryu Aikijutsu and Kito Ryu Jujutsu. Many Aikido schools are known to be focused on the esoteric and spiritual - we place our focus elsewhere, on the aspects of technique, history and applied philosophy knowing that the formerly mentioned will naturally evolve through the practice of the latter.

Aikido is a non-aggressive (yet assertive) and non-competitve way. We study to help each other to improve his/her understanding and realization of self, and how that interacts with all life. We have a strong physical self-defense approach.
