We need our own home again!

Please help us get back to where we were before we lost our beautiful home on State Street that we built together.

We’re a small group of dedicated Aikido students under the direction of Lia Suzuki Sensei. In the summer of 2007, we lost our training space on lower State Street due to an extreme rent increase. After regrouping and reorganizing, our aduts’ class came together in a temporary space at the Veterans’ Memorial Building. The kids’ class reconvened a full year later, refusing to give up hope for continued study under Suzuki Sensei.

Now, we’re a California nonprofit public benefit corporation. We’re excited and grateful to be able to be back training weekly. Our future goals are to once again have our own dedicated training space (a place where we’ll no longer have to put down and pick up tatami mats for each class), take field trips to Japan, and to hold events to benefit the community through this fantastic art that we love called Aikido – the Art of Peace.

Please help us!

*Participants in a roll-a-thon collect donation pledges from sponsors for a specific value per roll. On the day of the Roll-A-Thon, we’ll be thrown over and over into a roll, trying to do as many as we can, limited only by our stamina and class time.
