Details:	We are independent. We are not affiliated with a particular Aikido association or federation. Although these organizations may have their merits, they tend to introduce politics into the dojo. We strongly feel that politics do not belong in the dojo and, for this reason, we have opted to remain independent. We firmly believe in the oneness of all religions, and we welcome individuals from all religious backgrounds and spiritual traditions. We focus on the cultivation of the mind and spirit through physical training. We view the physical techniques as means to an end, rather than as ends in themselves. The end is the cultivation of the mind and spirit, as well as the ultimate realization of the universal principle of harmony. We teach in a manner that helps students to attain a high degree of effectiveness in terms of their ability to defend themselves. But we also teach in a manner that incorporates the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the art. This, in turn, gives the student a more profound understanding of Aikido. We cultivate the martial virtues as part of our training. The Samurai warriors of Feudal Japan lived their lives according to the code of Budo, which encourages the development of rectitude, courage, benevolence, courtesy, sincerity, honor, and loyalty. These virtues are as important now as they were centuries ago.
