Description

Alameda Aikikai is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that wants to change the world through the study of Aikido. Our mission is to foster the harmony of the entire individual (mind, body, and emotions) through the disciplines of Aikido, zen, weapons, 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 is the world.

We provide a sanctuary in Alameda 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.

October 5th 2024 we will be hosting our annual Roll-A-Thon.  This is a fundraiser to provide scholarships for Alameda Aikikai students who are training in the art of Aikido.

Participants will have 5 minutes to perform as many rolls as possible.  The funds collected will go towards providing scholarships for students to train in Aikido and the daily upkeep of the dojo at Alameda Aikikai.
