Renshinkai Aikibudo

Among the best dojo for aikibudo in AZ or the USA in my experience. I met the founder of Jiyushin-​ryu Aikibudo (CE Clark) in 2005 after years of online correspondence and discussion and recognized immediately that, ever 10 years of practicing Aikikai Aikido through numerous senior teachers in the US and from Japan, this form of aikido practice was the one for me.
This dojo started as the Jiyushinkan (the main hombu or home dojo of the organization) under CE Clark and Aaron Clark. When the leaders of the organization relocated to Seattle (along with the Jiyushinkan name), the former dojo’s senior students and instructors inherited the dojo and it was renamed to the Renshinkan.
I have been visiting this dojo at one to four times a year for clinics or regular training from California consistently since 2005 and find the instruction to be amongst the best in the country for a highly effective study of the principle and what makes aikido in this form an effective art without the need to create unnecessary pain, utilize excessive muscle or speed, but still not asking your attacker to cooperate with your technique to make it work correctly.
I will be back for a visit soon!
