Aikido is a martial art designed to reconcile conflict as non-violently as possible. Students learn to maintain their balance while breaking their partner’s balance. They also learn to go to safe places and how to fall without being injured.

Aikido teaches respect and awareness.

Classes are taught by 4th dan Russel Wisby Sensei who has been teaching Aikido to kids for 19 years.

Classes for young people aged 8 to 14 are available at the Mateel Community Center in Redway on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. We now have new mats.
