Who are we?

^{Aikido Santa Clara is a dojo (school where a “way” is practiced), teaching the art of Aikido in a direct lineage from the founder of modern Aikido, Ueshiba Morihei- O Sensei (honored teacher), through Kato Hiroshi, 8dan. We are recognized, through Kato Sensei, by the Hombu dojo (headquarters school) of the Aikikai, the familial mainline of Aikido.}

What are we about?

^{At Aikido Santa Clara, we are working to build a school, and an atmosphere where sincerity is the paramount value; where honest exploration of technique, intent, and our own relationship to others in conflict, can be safely but thoroughly pursued together. Cooperative practice should not mean falling down for each other, it should mean working together sincerely, to find and remove our weaknesses, and to understand what it means to affect a partners’ center.}

How?

^{What we are trying to do is to train sincerely, to work honestly with each other to discover where our understanding or skill in technique is weak or lacking, and to try to improve constantly. We strive, through that practice, to become always better human beings, members of our families, and members of society. There are no “Asian Fighting Secrets” taught here, except the idea of “Ganbatte!” or perseverance, and “Makoto” or sincerity.}

^{Welcome to our web site, please check us out in person. Friendly visitors from other Aikido (or other “sister arts”)dojo are always welcome to train with us! All we require is mutual respect (and a waiver signed).}
