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".
