“At Multnomah Aikikai, the sense of community is unmistakable. The instructors are not only skilled but deeply caring, and the senpai go out of their way to support new students with patience and respect. Everyone trains with a spirit of cooperation, not competition. It’s a place where etiquette, awareness, and mutual growth are as much a part of the practice as the techniques themselves. If you’re looking for a dojo that embodies both excellent instruction and genuine community, Multnomah Aikikai is it.”

What is Aikido?
Learn the history and philosophy of Aikido.
Multnomah Aikikai is a place where people train intensely. It’s also a place where people enjoy the process of learning, make mistakes, fall down (literally), have a good time, and create community. When we practice our art, we learn to physically connect, body to body, center to center. These connections extend into our daily lives in many ways. We welcome you to this space.
