Good Stance's Brooklyn Aikido Center
About
Brooklyn Aikido Center: Honshinkan Dojo provides training of both body and mind through the traditional Japanese martial art of Aikido.
Aikido inspires personal development to increase confidence, calmness, and focus. Students develop self-protection skills that are effective and dynamic. Ultimately we aim to help students evolve their ability to assess their interactions with others in real time — to use this ability to make the bad better and the better remarkable.
I have applied Aikido in my daily life in so many ways — from work, to family, to self. One of the more impactful takeaways I’ve experienced is how it has enhanced my awareness. In particular as it relates to assessing interpersonal interactions as they happen. This awareness in daily life relates to my decision to start a dojo. It is also a key part of my thinking as a dojo cho about the philosophy behind my school.
