Those at the Juneau Aiki Dojo want people to make a New Year’s resolution to learn the so-called “art of peace.”
Aikido, a form of martial art that translates in Japanese to “the way of harmony with spirit,” is being offered at the dojo every Monday this month. Anybody 18 or older is welcome, and the cost to participate in the four-part class is $40.
The classes will go from 7-8:30 p.m., and are very informal. No training is necessary and no martial arts uniform is required. The dojo recommends loose, comfortable clothing such as sweatpants. The dojo is located at 1st and Gold Street downtown, behind the Baranof Hotel. To register, call 723-3154 or go to www.juneauaikidojo.com.
