The Northcoast School of Aikido was founded by John Thomas Read upon his return from Japan in 1977. Read Sensei is widely recognized for his ability to teach the full variety of Aikido technique, in a concise, clear, and powerful way. At Northcoast Aikido and in seminars throughout the country, Read Sensei has taught practical technique and a complete philosophical basis for power through non-resistance for over thirty years. Read Sensei has also developed and continues to teach Aikibojitsu -- the Art of the Staff.
Training at Northcoast Aikido offers rich opportunities for self-development. Teaching responsibilities are shared by Read Sensei and several of his senior students. Visitors are welcome to our dojo. Beginning classes are ongoing. Feel free to stop by the dojo before, after, or during a scheduled class if you are interested in beginning your training in Aikido. And don't heasitate to call or email with any questions.
