11 Years and New Dojo Space

This week we celebrate 11 years as a dojo. And it happens to coincide with our recent move to a new space which we are cohabitating with Denver Aikikai and Denver Ki Aikido. Our new address is: 

1195 S Lipan St, Denver, CO 80223

The entrance to the dojo is behind the building, so park on Arizona street and you're right there. Our class schedule remains mostly unchanged except for Monday which will be the same time slots as Friday: 5-6 open-hand, and 6-7pm weapons. 

We are considering the possibility of an all weapons practice once a month on Saturdays for students interested in refining their knowledge of Iwama aiki-ken and aiki-jo. 

We're looking forward to our new venture and hope to see you on the mat soon!
