Aikido Kenkyukai Santa Barbara

“If your opponent strikes with fire, counter with water, becoming completely fluid and free-flowing. Water, by its nature, never collides with or breaks against anything. On the contrary, it swallows up any attack harmlessly.”

Morihei Ueshiba – The Art of Peace

Kids’ Summer Camp: Aug. 15 & 16

Kids’ Summer Aikido Camp gives kids the opportunity to have two full days of Aikido! We start at the dojo in the morning with formal Aikido classes. Then we clean up, eat lunch, change into beach wear and head to the beach for lots of Aikido-related games and races, like sumo wrestling and bokto watermelon-cutting.
