We lost a good friend this week. Rest in peace, Igor.

Aikido RVA extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and fellow practitioners of Sensei Igor Startsev upon his passing.

Sensei Startsev’s dedication to Aikido and his commitment to the principles of discipline, respect, harmony, and continuous learning touched the lives of many within Aikido as well as other martial art communities. His presence on the mat will be remembered with great respect and gratitude.

At this difficult time, we honor his life and his teaching he leaves with those who had the privilege of training with him and learning from his example.

May his spirit and teachings continue to guide and inspire us.

Rest well, dear friend.

With deepest sympathy and respect,
Aikido RVA

The next session of Hokkon-ho Budo starts soon!

Hokkon-ho Budo classes incorporate training methods from aikido, karatedo, and tai chi chuan, arts that Zenzan Dojo chief instructor Shihan James Huss has studied for nearly four decades.

Classes consist of stances and basic movements that increase core strength and improve posture, repetitive drills that develop unconscious reaction under stress, and body conditioning for stamina and fortitude.

The exercises in Hokkon-ho Budo can be tailored to individual needs and are suitable for all age and fitness levels. Classes are held at Jane Lawton Community Center in Chevy Chase, MD. We welcome students age 14 and up.
