Shuryukan Dojo was founded in year 2000 to teach Aikido to the modern day society. Our journey is to master and understand the basics utilizing the Yoshinkan system; and, to serve our community through the practice of aikido principles where every member strives to be in proper alignment with their surroundings - physically, emotionally, morally and spiritually.
SYA students train very seriously yet interact with each other like family members. Our instructions are minutely detailed, as we pay special attention to the position of the hands and feet. We practice basic movements & techniques over and over again to learn how to move our bodies in response to different types of power exerted by the opponent. Repeated and correct practice of these basic techniques eventually enables our students to react instinctively and to apply the appropriate technique in almost any situation he finds himself, whether it takes place in the dojo or at unexpected moment in daily life, verbal or otherwise physical.
