At Water Oak Aikikai, parents and their children will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Located in the woods of Weddington, North Carolina, the dojo offers an intimate and traditional setting. Conveniently located just minutes from Providence Road and I-485, the 40-tatami training space provides enough clearance for virtually any weapons training. 

The dojo was established in 2003 when William McLuskie had the opportunity to host Yamada Sensei for a seminar in Charlotte. Yamada Sensei gave him the instruction to "open a school and start teaching students", and thus Water Oak Aikikai was born. Now, this dojo offers a safe and positive environment for parents and their children to learn the art of Aikido.
