Our dojo was formed in 2012 as a group of Aikido instructors wishing to train together and offer Aikido classes for the Central Coast of California. Aikido Central Coast is located in Los Osos and draws students from San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Atascadero, Morro Bay, and Paso Robles. We offer traditional and innovative training whereby the instructor usually demonstrates principle-based techniques and students then practice together under the instructor's supervision. 

Through safe and rigorous training, Aikido students gain confidence and evolve in their proficiency of techniques and appreciation of Aikido principles. Weapons training with the bokken (wooden training sword), the jo (straight staff), and tanto (wooden knife) is incorporated into the classes. The weapons practice fosters improved posture, focus, and execution of non-weapons Aikido movements.
