In 1882 Jigoro Kano founded the martial art of Kodokan Judo. Judo utilizes Throws, armbars, grappling, and chokes to neutralize an attack. Since its inception, Judo has gained a following that makes it the most practiced martial art in the world. Judo means the gentle way. We strive to accommodate both the martial artist and competitive player with emphasis on self improvement and cooperative learning. |

Aikido means divine way of harmony. It is a martial art that utilizes throws, takedowns, and armlocks in execution of its methods. We practice the JuNiKaze Budokai form of Aikido based on Tomiki-ryu as taught by Shihan Nick Lowry. As such, we follow a non-competitive approach. Due to the nature of the training we require the student be at least fourteen before beginning Aikido. |

Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo is a staff art that focuses on the use of the jo (short staff) against the sword. Our program requires that the student be at least fourteen and a Yonkyu (green belt) in Aikido. Here at Autumn Wind Dojo we follow the Seitei no Kata which encompass twelve basic strikes and twelve katas. Safety is paramount when practicing, therefore there is no free practice or competition conducted in this martial art. Instead the student internalizes the techniques through repetition. In fact, we follow Musashi's philosophy that the slower you go the faster you learn. |
