The Wickwood Aikido Dojo is committed to building a community with an all-inclusive environment for everyone of all levels of experience, age, orientation and walk of life. Classes are meant to push people’s mental and physical capacities while staying safe, developing traditional martial arts skills and principles, and learning how to put those principles to use in everyday life. D’Angelo Sensei is dedicated to providing a program focusing on technical excellence and, with a background in Zen alongside his martial arts training, offers the opportunity to look at Aikido practice as a method for training the mind in conjunction with the body. Classes include empty hand Aikido practice, along with Bokken (wooden sword) and Jo (short staff) training.
