Hoorah from Silverdale,WA

My name is RPSN Brewer and I have recently been stationed here in the wonderful state of Washington.

I trained in Aikido for only a few months at the Tan Aiki Dojo in my fomer home town of Hanford, CA before I had to leave for bootcamp at Great Lakes, IL.

Though my training in Aikido may be limited, my studies of the art and its philosophies are much more extensive. Aikido has had my attention and my heart for quite some time especially since I have been looking for an alternative to the brutal form of mixed martial arts I was taught when I was younger; which was only to used as self-defense or in life threatening situations. My formal training is something that I never want fall back upon again.

Hi Michael,

Welcome, and thank you for your introduction!

Hi from Bainbridge Island! We have a great dojo here on BI that has evening classes (feel free to PM for more info), and there's also Kitsap Aikido in Poulsbo, which would be closer for you. Welcome to the Pacific Northwest!
