Welcome to
Aikido Eastside
Founded 1989
Aikido Eastside was the first
Aikido school on the "Eastside" in Bellevue, WA. Our school has
consistently offered the finest Aikido training available.
Several of our members have
gone on to run their own schools and currently two schools, Aikido
Heiwa in Lynnwood, WA and Gibsons Aikido in BC are associated
closely with our school.
Every
year since our founding the students of Aikido Eastside have
contributed their time and money to improve the dojo. These years of
steady improvement have given us one of the nicest facilities one
could ask for, allowing us to train in a traditional and inspiring
atmosphere. Our members are immensely proud of what they have
created.
The Shomen
The shomen is the area at the
front of the dojo. Ours contains a picture of the Founder, Morihei
Ueshiba which serves as a reminder that he watches us as we train in
the art he created. We are also fortunate to have an original
calligraphy done for our Chief Instructor, George Ledyard sensei by
his teacher, Mitsugi Saotome Sensei. It reads "The Great Spirit of
Aiki".
