As always we look forward to working with anyone interested in promoting peace. Martial Arts is more than just self preservation, it's above simply fighting because of ability. Aikido teaches us to harmonize with those seeking to harm us and work to find a new way to resolve this struggle so as to avoid conflict. What is the purpose behind injuring another human being? Is this our life's goal? We encourage anyone wanting to join our project to engage others for the promotion of self defense. We're also grateful for the support we're receiving from members of the LGBT+ community and look forward to our continued development together.
