North County Aikikai
“To injure an opponent is to injure yourself.
– Morihei Ueshiba
To control aggression without inflicting injury is the art of peace.”
Traditional Aikido martial art dojo in North County San Diego.
North County Aikikai is a school dedicated to the art of Aikido as passed on by its founder, Morihei Ueshiba, and his direct disciple, T.K. Chiba Shihan. Both its ambience and training are deeply rooted in Japanese culture and etiquette.
Our community of Aikido practitioners is committed to the pursuit of the art through rigorous training and an on-going dialogue founded on mutual respect and commitment. We work to maintain a healthy, growing community which preserves the technical and ethical principles of O’Sensei while also ensuring the relevance of the art to future generations.
Coryl Crane Shihan is North County Aikikai’s founder and chief instructor, having studied under Chiba Shihan for more than 30 years. She respects the traditional roots of the art while expressing and interpreting them through her own cultural experience and those of her students.
