Aikido Kokikai Orange County is a welcoming group dedicated to the practice of aikido, a non-violent Japanese martial art. Aikido seeks to use an attacker's momentum against them, making it an ideal art for any body type, regardless of strength or physical fitness. Practices focus on joint locks and momentum-based throws, along with ki exercises and falling and rolling practice. Are you looking to make new friends, manage stress, and feel more confident in every-day life?

I love having an art where even recovering from cancer surgery, I can still throw powerfully and with joy!

Take uke's posture while keeping your own!

Shihonage is one of many techniques that involves the feeling of a sword cut down. This helps create power, and helps the person throwing keep posture.

Congrats to Missy on a beautiful and poised 5th kyu test! And thanks to all of our members who supported her practice and test. It takes a dojo to build a blackbelt. ❤️🥋💪

Check out our website (aikidokokikaioc.com) for my new blog post, an article about the practical self-defense applications of aikido which I originally wrote for the Kokikai newsletter. My thesis: training gives you the ability to assess any situation and react appropriately, rather than defaulting to one of the adrenaline responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn).

I'm back on the mat after major surgery for cancer. One of my arms isn't yet mobile, so today we played with throwing one-handed. I love how adaptable aikido is!

Aikido keeps you on your toes!

Masakatsu agatsu - true victory is victory over oneself. This has long been one of my favorite aikido principles, and now I have it inscribed on a bokken as a constant reminder. 🥰🥋
