Aikido Center of San Antonio - Sho Shin Juku is a dojo (place of training) that trains you in Budo (martial arts) following the art developed by O’Sensei called Aikido as further developed by Shoji Nishio Sensei which is called Nishio Budo. You learn Aikido, and Iaido as well as the use of and defense of weapons such as the bokken (wooden sword), jo (four foot wooden staff), and tanto (knife). You can train in Aikido and Iaido regardless of age, gender, size, or physical conditioning. Since these Budo do not depend on strength or speed, everyone has equal potential. You ultimately learn a “way” to self-discovery and the tools to manage conflict in every day life. These arts provide you an avenue to lead a non-violent way of life and promote an internal sense of peace and well-being.
