Welcome to Aikido of Montpelier!

“Aiki is not a technique to fight with or defeat the enemy.
It is the way to reconcile the world and make human beings
one family. The secret of Aikido is to harmonize ourselves
with the movement of the of the universe.”

Morihei Ueshiba
Founder of Aikido

Aikido of Montpelier is a small independent Vermont dojo dedicated to creating a community of instructors and students devoted not just to the techniques of Aikido, but also to self-development and to exploring the nature of ki (the force or spirit that the founder of Aikido believed is “at the heart of creation”) in a friendly and safe atmosphere. Visitors and beginners are always welcome. We hope you will join us on this fascinating and enjoyable path.
