The Aikibudokan is one of Houston's oldest and most respected training centers for the traditional Japanese Martial Arts.

We are the only dojo in the Houston area that offers classes in very old martial arts forms.

The Samurai weapons class, Shindo Muso Ryu Jojutsu, is over 450 years old and encompasses ancient weapons such as kusarigama (sickle and chain), tessen/jutte (sword breaker and war fan), kenjutsu (sword fencing), and tanjo (short walking stick).  The Aikido that we teach is actually a Pre-WWII form known as Ueshiba-ha Aikibudo and is closely related and similar to Daito Ryu Aikijutsu.


In a relaxed non-competitive environment and an atmosphere of adult learning you will find high-level training in the art forms of:

..... Aikido - a non-competitive, low impact, soft touch, self-defense based art of harmony

..... Judo, a medium intensity, proactive, highly empowering practice of throws and grappling,

..... and Jojutsu, a traditional weapons form from ancient Japan that develops precision and transforms perceptions.

Through these practices, which together constitute a complete martial arts study, you will develop an understanding of the body/mind/spirit connection and come to realize:

..... a dynamic self-defense easily made intuitive
..... an improved health and life vitality
..... greater self-confidence and self-respect
..... a path toward a more harmonious life
..... a strategy of non-violence and inner peace
..... a new found sense of wholeness
..... and many special friends to share the journey

With time, practice, and patience, The Aikibudokan will transform your life.
 
All are welcome.
