Shin-Gane St. Louis Aikido Dojo

Wanting to add something new to your activity schedule? How about training in Aikido, a martial art which uses your opponents energy against them. Win over an attacker without ever striking him/her or being struck or taken down yourself. Does this sound impossible to you? The truth is you can even avoid that confrontation before it even begins. Interested in learning more? Please check out our website www.shin-ganeaikido.com and learn more. It’s never too late to get started.

Don’t know what to get that special someone for Christmas? How about a life changing opportunity to improve fitness, boost self confidence or maybe even change the outcome of an unexpected situation such as a car jacking? My suggestion is to sign them up for Martial Arts classes at Shin-Gane Aikido in Maplewood, Missouri. We are currently meeting on Wednesday and Friday evenings and following the pandemic guidelines wearing masks, using hand sanitizer, cleaning mats before and after every class and safe distancing. Now is a great time to start a new regiment of fitness and training to improve your health and wellness. This offer is for students 13 and older and adults, male and female. If interested please check out our website and don’t hesitate to call with any questions you may have! We look forward to meeting you.

2020...what can we say about this year? It has been like no other in so many ways. Giving up activities that are important to your soul is not an option with this dedicated group. They made changes, take precautions and carry on with training and improving their martial art.

The art of Aikido is unlike other martial arts. Instead of making contact the goal is to deflect. This means you have the option of controlling the outcome of an attack. You can choose to engage or end a situation depending on any scenario. At Shin-Gane Aikido you learn technique, confidence and realization. For more information please visit or website.

It’s not easy having a birthday as a senior student at an Aikido Dojo. Tradition is a breakfall for every year of age but usually is adjusted to just enough to make the celebration worthwhile. After all, you don’t want to break a fellow uke’. Happy Birthday Chris!

Class tonight 6:00 to 8:00. Hope to see you there.
