Equilibrium

We pay careful attention to our alignment, posture, and focus. You should notice improved equilibrium from the training.

Health

From the warm ups, breath work, and martial arts techniques, to the cool-down and final meditation, Aikido training will improve your physical and mental health

Strength

Among other things, Aikido training works with shifting weight - both yours and your partner's. This practiceĀ gives you the benefit of increased strength over time.

What people are saying...

"I've found Suzuki Sensei to be a very effective teacher and martial artist. She combines quality of communication, technical proficiency, and a sense of joy in her teaching and technique.

I am also very impressed with her drive and commitment to improving access to Aikido programs for youth, especially those who might otherwise not have the opportunity to receive the benefits of Aikido training."

CharlesĀ Colten

Director/Chief Instructor, Aikido in the Schools

"Lia Sensei spent years in Japan absorbing the essence of Aikido training and Japanese perseverance and grace from great teachers, and in turn she now transmits that depth of feeling to her students. Her fundraising and charitable works are exemplary, and she does lots with very little. She is admired from far and wide."

Nat McCully

Senior Engineering Manager, Adobe Systems Incorporated

"Lia Suzuki Sensei is a highly qualified teacher of Aikido. She is one of the senior women in the United States in the art. Her training history is top notch and her instruction is powerful, clear, and personable. Very professional."
