He spent several hundred hours researching Deflategate, even assembling his own "Deflategate Investigation Kit".

Aikido (合気道; “the way of unifying life energy”) is a modern Japanese martial art that emphasizes blending with the attacker to use their strength against them, rather than resorting to forceful techniques such as punches and kicks. Aikido techniques are built upon the principle of handling physical confrontation with compassion rather than brute force. Because of this aspect, many consider Aikido not only a martial art, but also a nourishing life philosophy.

Beginners are welcome at any practice session. Classes are free of charge.

We offer classes in two branches of Aikido: Aikikai and Kokikai. Pick one that suits you better, or learn both!
