Aikido is a unique martial art which offers a way of creating balance when presented with conflict. The attack of an opponent is redirected. This allows for no harm to come to yourself or your opponent, creating harmony in place of fighting. Aikido is a martial art and a highly effective defense against any kind of attack, yet it embodies a way of living and looking at the world that increases self-awareness and respect for others.
Aikido is practiced at all ages and our dojo has students from ages 5 - 75. The practitioner of Aikido embarks on a path which becomes richer over time. Please join us for a class and experience what we love about Aikido. O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) mastered several martial arts and developed his techniques from Daito Ryu Aiki-jujitsu, sword & spear techniques with a spiritual philosophy which held a deep respect for nature and life.

Simply amazing! I was shopping around for martial arts for my 12 year old to learn self defense. We went to several different providers and hands down Aikido of Seminole County was the most welcoming, hospitable, knowledgeable, and clean martial arts facility that we had stepped into. They even let us get our free class right there on the spot. My daughter actually learned something useful on her free class. We signed my daughter up the following week.

Very nice friendly and professional. I do Recommend it 100%. My 8 years old and my 12 years old loved it. At first they didn't want to even talk about it but Ms Rain made the experience so positive, and fun. She and kept them engaged. She is not too serious all the time she is fun and very friendly.
I am thinking now to register because I liked what I saw very much. It feels like a family. EVeryone is encouraged and welcomed.

This Aikido dojo has not closed, but is operating as an amazing school to learn this ancient art.
The studio owners, Sensei Rain and Senei Youssef Sadkane are highly skilled, excellent teachers.
The students in this dojo reflect the passion and caring of the owners.
Many students have studied and gained the knowledge and competence to practice Aikido, attending workshops throughout Florida, Georgia, and Japan.
This is, by far, the best Aikido dojo in Central Florida.
