Aikido in the Time of COVID
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are practicing as safely as possible. Check out the dojo schedule listed below or come meet us for weapons class at Duke Park at 9:30 AM on Saturdays as long as it's not raining! Everyone welcome!
To maintain the safety of our dojo community, we require that all new students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Now that Durham has lifted its mask mandate, we are not requiring masks for indoor classes. Students and visitors should wear masks if they are more comfortable doing so. If you are sick - with COVID or anything else - please do not come to the dojo. Thank you for helping to keep our community safe! Questions? Email us at info@TriangleAikido.com

You are welcome to watch a class any evening Monday through Thursday at the dojo . Contact us at info@TriangleAikido.com or 919-886-5415 for more information today!
Saturdays in the Park
We started practicing outside when we couldn't have classes at the dojo and were finding new ways to practice together. Now we're hooked on Aikido in the Park! Join us Saturday mornings at 9:30 AM at Duke Park for weapons practice. When it's precipitating or below 40 degrees, meet us at the dojo! Bring water; masks optional. We have jo and bokken to share. Hope to see you there.

2023 Fall Seminar

We had a short but sweet Fall Seminar with Hiroshi Tajiri Shihan, Mark Hazelrigg Sensei, and Charlene Reiss Sensei in September. Great to spend some time working on the basics of blending and taking balance. And always fun to explore weapons work with Tajiri Shihan!

2023 Spring Seminar!

Many thanks to everyone who joined us for our 2023 Spring Seminar with Hiroshi Tajiri Shihan, Mark Hazelrigg Sensei, and Charlene Reiss Sensei. It was great to be back in seminar mode with so many friends - some new and many we've known for a lot of years. We're looking forward to hosting more seminars and seeing more folks in our dojo!

"The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter." -- Morihei Ueshiba
