Aikido Agatsu Dojos

Beautiful place, beautiful people. Their Aikido is very fascinating and authentic

A wonderful Sensei. Nice environment. Very easy to talk to. Strongly recommend Sensei Crane.

I was learning from the Cranes over 20 years ago. Aikido has never left me. I do my exercises every day to “keep the rust out of my joints” per O Sensei I think. I moved and have been away. At 65 I am thinking about returning to the Dojo. Not sure if I can handle it but I’ll talk to the Cranes about it.

Since joining Aikido Agatsu Dojos in 2008, I've gained a sense of security in learning how to defend myself safely and how to be safe while traveling alone, which I do a lot. Crane Sensei and their staff instill and reinforce self-discipline, healthy living and respect for others. Aikido also teaches victory over yourself. Victories such as overcoming fear of test taking, fear of not being good at the techniques right away and learning that the journey is more important than your next belt level. I recommend their programs to all ages!

Aikido Agatsu Dojos is committed to traditional Aikido practice. With several connections to the family of the founder, Sensei R. Crane and Sensei K. Crane instruct the art as it was meant to be instructed with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of ken (sword), jo (staff) and body arts. I have been training for 18 years and I have found, not only a means of defending myself and staying in shape, but a family that has embraced my training and efforts towards self-improvement. Highly recommend for youth, teen or adult beginners or students who have trained in the art elsewhere.
