About Aikido of Charlotte

Aikido of Charlotte has been teaching the art of Aikido for over 25 years! Our Chief Instructor, Dennis Main Sensei, 6th Dan, Shidoin has over 50 years of experience and is the most senior aikido teacher in the Charlotte surrounding area. We are dedicated to helping our students learn and practice the traditional Aikido as handed down from the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei). At Aikido of Charlotte, we emphasize the importance of respecting one another while training. Aikido is not a sport and therefore there are no competitive tournaments. Instead, we focus on cooperative training in which the Aikidoist betters oneself without belittling others, without the intention of harm or fear of injury. Our training seeks to encourage the spirit of O-Sensei’s desire for universal peace and harmony by balancing the attacker and defender.

Aikido of Charlotte Program
Aikido is more than the study of physical techniques; proper etiquette, attitude, and behavior are also stressed. The basic movements of Aikido are circular in nature. The Aikidoist trains to harmonize with, rather than confront an aggressive line of force and converts it into a circular motion that renders attackers helpless. The Aikidoist trains to apply various wristlocks, arm pins, or unbalancing throws to subdue and neutralize attackers without serious injury. Such practice is done in tandem with learning the art of falling, or “ukemi”, which trains the body and mind to receive such techniques in a safe manner.
