Classes are taught by Deanna Newman in association with the Fugakukai International Association.
We practice Kihara Aikido, which is a noncompetitive variation of Tomiki style Aikido. This is a soft style of Aikido, practiced without painful locks or high-impact falls. It is also a fairly westernized style of Aikido, in which we teach anatomical and mechanical principles for correct motion rather than metaphysical ideas like "ki".
Kihara Aikido was developed by Shihan Karl Geis, the founder of the Fugakukai. For more information about this style of Aikido, you can refer to:
