"The triangle represents the generation of energy and initiative; it is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolises unification, serenity and perfection; it is the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for form and solidity, the basis of applied control."

"When the triangle, the circle and the square become one, it moves in spherical rotation together with the flow of ki, and the Aikido of sumi kiri ("total clarity of mind and body") appears."

- Morihei Ueshiba O'Sensei

"Day after day train your heart out, refining your technique: Use the One to strike the Many! That is the discipline of the Warrior." -O'Sensei

Welcome to the Michigan Aikido club blog.

Training has begun for the Michigan Aikido Club. We will meet every Wednesday from 5-6pm at the Fitness Center in Tecumseh, Mi. The practice is led by Danny Kline, a student of Jay Weik Sensei. His teacher, William Gleason Sensei (author of "The Spiritual Foundations of Aikido") studied with Seigo Yamaguchi Sensei and Mitsugi Saotome sensei, both direct students of the founder O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba.

Anyone 15 years or older is welcome to attend. No membership to the Fitness Center is required. The facility simply requires a small mat fee of $10 per class (reduced if enrolled in full 8 week session) which includes use of the entire center for the day.
