Multnomah Aikikai
Chief Instructor: Aki Fleshler We are a martial arts dojo (study hall or school) that offers training in the Japanese martial art of Aikido. Aikido is a grappling art involving joint locks and throws developed by Morihei Ueshiba in the mid to late 1920’s. Multnomah Aikikai provides a method of personal development for people of all ages through traditional, practical and sincere training in the martial art of Aikido. Through dynamic martial engagement the body is awakened, the mind is sharpened and the spirit is nourished. We teach respect, patience and perseverance in an open encouraging environment. The primary importance of each class is not the technique itself but rather the individual learning the technique and more importantly the individual feeling themselves, becoming aware of their bodies as they move through each aspect of training. It is the knowledgeable instruction and keen awareness of learning styles as demonstrated at Multnomah Aikikai that is the key to who we are. |

food for thought
"A written regulation is only the surface and a fragment of the principle of discipline. The essence of discipline is found within ones conscience. True strength of virtue is best cultivated with a spirit of self-sacrifice and actions carried out when there are no eyes to see them. Therefore, daily life and training should be led by ones own conviction and subjective attitude, seeking neither recognition, praise, nor return for what has been done, but making practice be about Silent Work."
