Aikido of Charlotte is a non-profit educational organization founded in 1989, dedicated to the teaching of traditional Aikido as handed down from the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba (O'Sensei). Our dojo, located just minutes from Uptown Charlotte, offers daily Aikido classes, Self Defense workshops to the public, and Defensive Tactics training to Law Enforcement. We have an "open mat" policy, allowing students from other dojos to observe and participate in classes. Our friendly atmosphere encourages serious training and fun at the same time.
