Whether you are beginning your path training in the martial arts, are new to the area, or you're currently training locally, finding a new place to train can be filled with uncertainty and trepidation. We would encourage you to try as many dojo's in town as you can, selecting the school and art that you feel best fits your personality, goals, and-most importantly-your heart. As your training will hopefully help you to learn and grow as a person, the most important thing is for you to become the person you want to be. Aikido is a path that creates caring people who strive for peace and harmony within themselves and with others. The Central Florida area offers many arts to choose from, with a wide variety of philosophies and ideals. We hope you'll consider training with us. If you have any questions about our group or classes, please contact us via our contact page.
The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow...Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter. Morihei Ueshiba, Osensei - Founder of Aikido

You and I have never met. I don't know you. And you don't know me. We have never smiled at one another or shook hands or hugged. Our paths have never crossed. Until now. Now somehow, you have found my words. Now you and I are connecting. Now we are together. Now we can begin. So what brought you here? Do you want to KICK ASS? Do you want to be a real martial artist? |

Dan Pham has been a good friend of mine for many years. Besides being a helluva guy, he's also a pretty accomplished karateka. Unfortunately, years of kata and kumite took their toll on Dan's hip. He was all but out of training for the past couple of years. Well that's all changed! Dan just got a new hip and evidentally....HE'S BAACCKKK!!!
