Are you unsure that you're "built" for martial arts? Try Aikido!
Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art that focuses on redirecting attacks instead of countering them with force. This makes Aikido an excellent defensive art; the physical strength of the Aikido practitioner has little to do with the overall effectiveness of its techniques.
Aikido is deeply rooted in traditional teachings that are timeless and versatile. Because the teachings of Aikido are effective at all levels of application, Aikido has been taught internationally to police and security personnel as a way to control confrontations or defend themselves should a situation turn violent.
The principles of Aikido infuse our minds as well as our bodies with a sense of balance through self-mastery. The founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, understood that “True victory is self-victory.” Through the practice of Aikido, we learn how to master our daily trials by mastering ourselves.
Mastery of self allows us to achieve harmony with our environment and that path starts by achieving inner harmony. Practitioners become more aware of our posture, breathing, and thoughts. This awareness improves our mood, attitude and outlook, leaving practitioners feeling energized and centered.
Unlike a simple gym workout, Aikido's holistic approach offers a whole range of benefits:
More energy
Better posture
Improved body awareness
Stress reduction and relaxation
Heightened self confidence
Improved outlook on life
Aikido also offers the benefits of a traditional gym workout:
Increased flexibility
Better muscle tone
Weight loss/maintenance
Improved stamina, balance and coordination
Perhaps most importantly, Aikido offers support from fellow students and instructors. In seeking our own centers; we are encouraged to be more aware of others and their needs.

Testimonials
My son is loving classes! His sister watched him yesterday and said "Mom, I'm so glad you switched him. They are actually teaching him to defend himself." It takes a lot to impress her.
Thank You so much! You helped make her become the strong women she is today. Unlike that shy little girl I walked into your school, who was be bullied at school.
Our Family has discussed so many times how lucky we are to have you in Lily’s life. You are the best character builders we could hope for and we know it will make a difference in Lily’s life.
It started with name calling. Then it became physical. Our daughter has been in the Elkhorn Flying Dragons Black Belt Program for just over a month and the changes are significant already! She is sleeping at night without nightmares! Everyday we see a little more confidence!
3 years and counting for myself and family under the only school locally with 2 masters at the helm. Always something new to learn in a safe clean friendly environment.
I admire the work that I have observed tonight and hope that one day my nephew will one day grow to learn and adopt the great morals you instill in your students.
This is the premier martial arts facility in the area. The instruction is top-notch. Not only do students learn self defense, but we also make a lot of friends in the process.
