Aikido of Norwalk

Training time with Lasher Sensei.

Tonight’s focus: Kumijo. Lasher Sensei is nage, and I have the privilege of serving as uke, providing committed attacks to help refine timing, distance, connection, and intent. Every exchange is an opportunity to deepen understanding.

Grateful for the opportunity to train together. No matter how long you’ve practiced, there’s always something more to learn.

Train. Refine. Repeat.

What an incredible evening!

A huge thank you to all of the amazing women who joined us for our FREE Women’s Self-Defense Class. It was inspiring to see everyone stepping outside their comfort zone, learning practical self-defense skills, and supporting one another throughout the evening.

At Aikido of Norwalk, we believe self-defense is about more than techniques. It’s about developing awareness, confidence, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. No experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn.

If you attended and would like to continue your training, we’re currently offering a special promotion:

Hot Aikido 🥵🥋

The dojo started class at 93°F last night.

Fans running, plenty of water breaks, and a lot of movement.

We worked through tai sabaki from tsuki, added a new sixth movement into practice, and applied the movements into kokyunage and men-nage variations.

Even in the heat, training stays focused, safe, and fun.

And yes… we still had our regular social afterward.

Progress in Aikido doesn’t happen all at once.

It comes from consistent training, attention to detail, and showing up over time.

Every class builds on the last.

Beginners are always welcome.

Saturday morning vibes.
Quiet mats. Open doors. Clear minds.

A little movement, a little connection, a little polishing of the spirit before the world gets loud.

Come step on the mat and see what shows up.
