Body Art makes up the heart of Aikido technical training.  Body Art classes are designed to kinesthetically cultivate the practitioner in Aikido’s technical architectures. 

Ne-Waza training further develops the practitioner’s understanding of the art by complimenting the vertical plane with the horizontal plane.  It also works to coordinate middle and long range weapons with close range weapons. 

Body Conditioning classes are designed to provide the practitioner with an operational fitness.  These classes help the student gain the level of physical wellness necessary to endure the trials of Budo practice. 

Striking training further develops the practitioner’s understanding of the art by developing the body's natural impact weapons.   

Weapons I classes have the practitioner training in the use of the sword, staff, and knife.  Traditional weapons training is used to further refine the practitioner’s understanding and application of the art.

Weapons II classes have the practitioner training in the use of modern firearms, knife, and baton.  Such training is used to keep the art relevant and alive.   

Zazen is Zazen.  The form of Zazen practiced at Senshin Center  is called “Shikantaza.”  In Shikantaza, the practitioner drops all thought of discovery, relaxation, recuperation, and attainment. 

Iai Batto-Ho is the art of drawing the sword. Iai Batto-Ho training is used to further develop one’s sword technique, to spiritually connect the practitioner to tradition, and to cultivate mental and physical discipline by emphasizing a centered mind and the practice of precise movement. 

Jiyu Waza is manifesting the art in live training environments.  Such training is used to cultivate the practitioner in the transcendence of form.  Jiyu Waza is used to bridge the gap between theory and practice, between knowing and doing, and between thinking and being.
