Chudokai Federation Virtual Dojo

What is Aikido? Aikido, or "The Way of Harmony", is a defensive martial art focusing on graceful movements and working with one's opponent, blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it directly. The philosophy and principles of modern Aikido are based upon more than 800 years of Japanese samurai life. The samurai tradition was one of discipline, loyalty, demanding physical training, etiquette, strong spirit and philosophical insight into the conduct of life and human relationships.

Under the guidance of Kevin Blok Kyoshi (Master Instructor), 7th Dan in Yoshinkai Aikido, and 8th Dan through the World Kobudo Federation, students will be introduced to the rich background and oral history of the way of the warrior, will receive instruction in basic and advanced philosophies of Budo as a path -- a way of achieving harmony within oneself and with your world -- and will take part in life training exercises which will earn the student a certification through the Chudokai Martial Arts Federation International.
