Centrally located in metropolitan Richmond, Aikido in the Fan offers classes in Aikido as an effective martial art and a practical system of personal development. The art of Aikido translates universal principles (balance, center, energy) into learnable applications and is known to foster greater stability, focus, flexibility, and spontaneity in daily life. We explore this art at beginning and advanced levels and in both its open-hand and sword (bokken) and staff (jo) applications.

We are a not-for-profit public charity educational organization affiliated with the Aikikai Foundation (Hombu Dojo) & Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU) . Prospective students are encouraged to come to the dojo to observe or participate in a class. Visitors and Aikido practitioners from other schools are always welcome.

Posted by admin on Sunday 18 November 2007 - 15:58:17

Join us in welcoming Mary Heiny, 6th dan, back to Richmond, Virginia for this second annual seminar. Mary is one of the most outstanding instructors in America today. One of only a few Westerners, and even fewer Western women, to have learned directly from the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, she trained extensively in Japan in the 1960s and 1970s, both in Tokyo at Hombu Dojo and in Shingu under Michio Hikitsuchi, 10th dan. Her dedication as a teacher and her deep understanding of the art has influenced thousands of practitioners worldwide.
