I started aikido in 1991 , got hooked immediately and never looked back.Aikido is not just a great defensive martial art but can influence your outlook on life.

I have learned so much going from eager student to instructor. And I get to enjoy it all over again, helping upcoming students on their own journies.

Aikido is challenging, great fun and addictive. That’s why I’m still here teaching and learning over 40 years later.
