Aikido Olympia

Our Aikido dojo is more than a martial arts school - it's a community dedicated to harmony, respect, and lifelong growth. Through the peaceful practice of Aikido, students of all ages learn confidence, focus, and compassion - skills that extend far beyond the mat. 

Aikido Olympia has grown out of an Aikido tradition begun in 1971 at The Evergreen State College by Hirata Yoshihiko Sensei, a student of the founder of Aikido. Aikido Olympia has existed at our current location for over 15 years and is going strong.

Your support helps us:

• Keep training accessible to everyone through low-cost programs and scholarships
• Maintain a safe, welcoming space for students to grow and learn
• Support our volunteer instructors
• Preserve and share the teachings of Aikido, an art rooted in peace and non-violence

Every donation, no matter the size, strengthens our community and helps us continue passing on the values of connection, empathy, and balance to the next generation.

The Aikido Olympia dojo is located at 506 Columbia Street SW in downtown Olympia. Visitors are welcome to observe classes at any time.
