If you’re reading this, then I’ve done everything right and our new site is now live and functioning! There has been a lot of planning going into the site. Basically, I had a few goals:

First and foremost, I wanted to make the site more accessible to people who are new to the dojo. (If you’re one of those people, please let me know what you think!) Our dojo offers a lot of great services, but I really wanted to focus on three: the quality of our self-defense, our great kids program, and how aikido can be especially effective for women. These are just a few of the areas in which the dojo excels–but I think they are some of the most important.

Second, I wanted to make it easier for students to get information, such as our new student information packet and our kids test requirements. If you’re not a current member, you still have access to this info–but it’s probably not going to make much sense to you until you’re on the mat! (So what are you waiting for?) Hopefully, having this information readily available will make everyone’s lives a little easier.

Lastly, I know how frustrating it is to visit a site and see that it’s completely out of date. Our new site is much easier for myself and others to update. I plan on keeping things current as much as possible!

Please enjoy the site! If you like it, I hope you’ll show it by clicking the Facebook like button at the top right corner, and share it with your friends.

See you on the mat!
