Heath Sensei is also exceptional at fostering community and comraderie within the dojo, which I find impressive in its own right. (I once complimented him on it, and he humbly replied that he considers it part of the art.) The atmosphere is jovial and welcoming, and people celebrate each others successes with genuine enthusiasm.
I actually never thought I’d get into a martial art, and only checked it out after I realized a friend of mine drives 45 minutes to get to THIS PARTICULAR dojo. I live down the street from it, so I had to check it out. I wasn’t even looking for martial arts, just a bit of exercise, and now I am completely hooked. I leave every class with a deeper sense of connection, within myself and with others, and an aliveness that I’ve not found anywhere else. I seriously go through Aikido Withdrawl on the days there is no practice!
Sensei Heath Atchley fosters a real community in this dojo. He meets every student at their comfort level with compassion, respect ,and encouragement. He also keeps us connected with occasional social events off the mat which make the community that much richer and more welcoming. The artful practice of aikido is dynamic and vigorous but also jovial and fun. I am challenged both physically and mentally each time I go to practice and am deeply fulfilled when I leave and am always eager to return.
After over three years of practice, not only do I see an improvement in my physical well-being but I also feel a level of self confidence that I have never felt with any other activity. I encourage anyone who is curious about aikido to come here and see what it is all about.
