About Me |
|
| Bond Street Dojo (incorporated as New York Aikido Society, Inc., Inc.) is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1973 by Ken Nissen and Terry Dobson. Our mission is to provide opportunities for each student to develop physical, mental and spiritual discipline in accordance with the Aikido way of its founder, Morihei Ueshiba (O-Sensei).We also hold free introductory workshops on the third Saturday of each month, at 11 AM - 12:30 PM WE ARE LOCATED AT 214 W. 29th Street,3rd. Floor. New York, NY (@ 7th. Ave.) We pride ourselves on maintaining the dojo not only as a place for serious aikido training and discipline, but as a community where members have a sense of belonging and concern for one another.

My Interests |
|
| Aikido is a Japanese word made up of three characters, or kanji. The first is "Ai" which means "meet, come together, harmonize." The second kanji is "Ki" which means "mind, soul, spirit." In the larger context, "Ki" refers to the spirit of the universe and not just the spirit of human beings. The third and last character is "Do" which means "the way," to signify that the study of Aikido involves physical practice melded with philosophical examination over a long term. "Ai-Ki-Do," therefore, means the way of harmonizing with the universe. |

I'd like to meet:We welcome anyone who is curious about aikido . The Aikidoist focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using the opponents' energy to gain control. It is an art that places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement.We provide training and conditions that develop excellence in basic techniques. We also help senior students acquire the understanding and methods to facilitate the progress of junior students. We encourage students to approach training with an open mind and sense of enjoyment. Please feel free to email us with any questions at: aikido@bondstreet.org |
