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

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.

"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
