Aikido Arts of Shin-Budo Kai

description of the school

Training in this dojo is based upon two philosophical “pillars.” The first, is “Mu Shin,” which can be translated to mean “empty mind.” It is important to clear our mind from the day and focus upon the immediate experience when entering the training area. At a deeper level, all of us must put aside our preconceived notions about what we can and cannot do, so that we can open ourselves up to truly learn from the training experience.
