Wonderful place to train in aikido, bokkendo and jodo. Everyone is friendly and the instructors are good at tailoring the classes to the ability levels of the people on the mat at any given night.

If you are looking for a great aikido dojo to train in, either as a visitor or to join, I highly recommend ASBK. Visitors are always welcome! I've been with ASBK for 5 years... The teachers continue to inspire me, and I love being a part of such a respectful and caring community.

I started aikido when I was 64. I was disgusted with my freeze responses and fear of falling. I had broken my back several years earlier when I was bucked off my horse. I had never heard of aikido but a horse clinician introduced aikido as a way to develop blending and harmony with a partner, whether that partner is a person or a horse. So, I started aikido. When I attempted to take my first back fall, I cried. In aikido we learn to take many falls. Already these are two reasons to begin studying aikido: 1. Learn how to fall. 2. Learn to blend with the movement of a partner. I have found Albuquerque Shin Budo Kai to be a safe dojo. I have found this dojo to be supportive of my growth, my learning, and my connection to a diverse community.
