HistoryAikido (the way of spirit harmony) develops the power of the mind and body working in concert, emphasizing the use of blending and awareness rather than force and resistance. Aikido techniques rely on a calm mind, relaxed body and accurate positioning rather than strength and size. As well as being an effective self defense, Aikido is a healthful exercise, a moving meditation, and an enjoyable work-out for students of all ages. At Triangle Aikido, experienced instructors provide training in a safe and supportive atmosphere, offering a constructive way for adults and children to use their energy more peacefully and effectively. Triangle Aikido at Choshinkan Dojo has been offering martial arts training since 1986, originally as Chapel Hill Aikido. The dojo moved to Durham in 2002 and added family classes in 2006. We are always accepting new students.
