Brooklyn Aikikai Inc

Brooklyn Aikikai is a nonprofit whose mission is to foster the harmony of the entire individual (mind, body, and emotions) through the disciplines of aikido, zen, misogi, and iaido. These traditional Japanese arts are a "do" (or "tao" in Chinese), a way, through which one strives to reveal the true self. By bringing this true self forward, one is transformed, and so also is the world. We provide a sanctuary in New York City where individuals from all backgrounds may develop themselves through training in the above arts. We promote understanding of these traditional Japanese arts, as well as other Japanese cultural activities and welcome productive partnerships with schools, other nonprofits, and community organizations that enhance understanding of our mission.
