in Japanese inaka means countryside and dojo means a place to study a martial art. When you reach Inaka Dojo in Beecher, Illinois, we'll be studying the art of aikido. We also offer classes at the New Lenox Aikido Club. Visitors are always welcome to observe our classes.
Aikido is a non-competitive martial art based on turning an attacker's power back against him. The study of aikido increases flexibility, endurance, and balance. Most students find that it reduces stress and increases the ability to focus. Aikido can be a very effective form of self-defense. However, that is not the goal of aikido; rather we strive for agatsu, the control of ourselves. Inaka Dojo is affiliated with Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU), headed by Mitsugi Saotome Shihan. ASU is affiliated with Aikikai World Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. |
