Aikido Nippon Kan 🥋

I was involved with Akido - ki at old Japan House with Sensi Homma. In 3 weeks I felt So well at ease and suited as naturally fit For the movement of this powerful form. Sensi Homma was very patient and easy to Follow.

Please understand that community service is what makes civilization possible. This planet is great because of the selfless acts its population gives to those in times of need. My son is learning Aikido at Nippon-Kan not only to use his hands to defend against combatant, but to use his mind to understand that combatant before they ever meet--he will not need to use his hands if he is successful. This is not the art of avoidance, this is a martial art, hands on, staff, sword. But I think there is much more here than self-defense. You are exposed to a culture that thrives on community. They are gracious to serve the Denver-area communities and others world-wide. I hope my son will have as much love for his communtity. Thank you to the entire staff and students running this dojo.

I have been attending Nippon Kan regularly for three months now, the instructors are amazing and extremely welcoming. The dojo itself and an authentic traditional Japanese dojo and I have never seen another at the level of Nippon Kan. I would recommend Nippon Kan to anyone interested in Aikido.

Nippon Kan is the largest traditional Japanese dojo in the Rocky Mountain Region. They offer many classes, each with different instructors, so that you can choose the class and instructor that best suit your learning style. Aikido is known as a "soft" martial art, and since I have been practicing Aikido, I have had no serious injuries. Aikido has improved my balance, posture, mental attitude and overall level of well-being. I have also made many good friends at Nippon Kan through volunteer opportunities and the practice of Aikido. I recommend this dojo to anyone who is interested in learning a martial art. As with almost anything, you will get back what you put into your learning experience at Nippon Kan.

I've been practicing Aikido for over ten years; when I went to Nippon-kan to check out the classes they told me that I had to wait outside in the snow until class started. When I finally got on their mat I found that the higher ranking members were driven by their ego, and treated not only me, but many of the lower belts very rude.
