About
Aikido Center of Los Angeles offers training in Aikido, Iaido, and kids classes. Aikido at this dojo is described as an effective Japanese martial art based on centeredness that balances technical proficiency with spiritual discipline, using an opponent’s power and redirecting that energy into throws, joint locks, or pins intended to result in the least amount of pain or injury to the aggressor. Iaido at this dojo focuses on drawing, cutting, and re-sheathing the sword, with movement described as having many layers and such precision that it can take a lifetime to perfect.
