Serving Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas, Summit Aikikai is a training community of committed martial artists training in Aikido. Developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O'Sensei), Aikido is unique among martial arts in its central philosophy of self-defense by blending with the energy of an attacker, rather than attacking.
Aikido: A non-violent, non-competitive Japanese martial art of self-defense. Through practice, members acquire physical skills and the capacity to maintain equanimity and tranquility in situations of crisis and stress in any area of their lives, whether it be at home, at work, or on the street. Our Basics Aikido class is for the new or Kyu grade students.

I’ve been going for about a month now and love it so far! Peterson sensei is a skilled practitioner and teacher, and is kind and compassionate toward all students. The school offers basic and advanced aikido classes as well as well as traditional weapons work and meditation. If you’re looking to train safely and seriously together with a small group of people with diverse life experiences, stop in for a class and meet the bunch.

The training style is rigorous, yet scaleable to all levels and over time you build up your flexibility and coordination and learn to move your body in a relaxed, supple
