Aikido

The Way of Harmony

Aiki Spokane Roshinkan is a traditional aikido dojo where students of every background train together to harmonize body, mind, and spirit — on the mat and beyond it.

Welcome

A place to begin, at any age or ability

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art founded on the principle of resolving conflict without doing harm. Rather than meeting force with force, we learn to blend with an attacker's energy and use it — a practice of sincerity, mutual respect, and personal development. No prior experience is necessary. You are welcome exactly as you are.

Harmony

The heart of aikido is aiki — meeting energy with harmony rather than resistance. Aikido is the lifelong study of aiki.

Character

The goal of Aikido training is not perfection of a step or skill, but rather improving one’s character according to the rules of nature.

Community

There is no competition here. Partners work cooperatively, each helping the other grow with what we call fierce joy.

Everyone Is Welcome

We welcome all practitioners regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, or age. The dojo is a space of respect and belonging, and we celebrate the diversity of our members.
