About
Operating out of the Soto Mission of Hawaii in Honolulu, The Aikido Ohana provides structured instruction in traditional Aikido. The dojo teaches this Japanese martial art as a non-violent approach to conflict, focusing entirely on techniques that use entering and turning body movements to safely neutralize an opponent's energy. Instructors maintain a cooperative environment—reflecting the cultural concept of "ohana"—where students practice patience and mutual respect on the mat. The youth curriculum is designed to safely introduce fundamental body mechanics, spatial awareness, and proper falling techniques. By prioritizing technical movement over competitive pressure, the program helps younger students build physical coordination and mental focus before advancing into the teen and adult training lines. ### Program Highlights * **Age Groups:** Serves youth students (ages 6 to 12) through a dedicated children's block, alongside comprehensive beginner (ages 13 and up) and advanced adult divisions. * **Schedule Format:** Conducts regular training sessions on Tuesday and Friday afternoons, utilizing staggered start times to clearly separate youth fundamentals from teen and adult mat work. * **Core Curriculum:** Focuses strictly on traditional, non-competitive Aikido mechanics, emphasizing personal development, safe physical coordination, and conflict de-escalation rather than aggressive striking.
