The Northcoast School of
Aikido was founded by John Thomas Read upon his return from Japan
in 1977. Read Sensei is widely recognized for his ability to
teach the full variety of Aikido technique, in a concise, clear, and
powerful way. Both at Northcoast Aikido and in seminars throughout the
country, Read Sensei has spent the past quarter century teaching
both practical technique and a complete philosophical basis for power
through non-resistance. Read Sensei has also developed and
continues to teach Aikibojitsu --
the Art of the Staff. Training at Northcoast Aikido offers rich opportunities for self-development. Teaching responsibilities are shared by Read Sensei and several of his senior students. Visitors are welcome to our dojo, and beginning classes are ongoing. Please call or email us if you are interested in beginning your training in Aikido. Photo: Eve Silver |
