Classes at the Longmont branch of Aikido Shugenkai are taught by Paula Lydon. She currently holds a Menkyo Shoden teaching license.  We are based in Longmont, Colorado and we serve the communities of Longmont, Niwot, Erie, Firestone, Berthoud, Boulder, Loveland, and surrounding areas.

Aikido is a non-violent Japanese Budo, or martial way, which enriches the life of the participant by providing tools for coping with daily challenges.  It is a wonderful discipline which many people worldwide have found to be extremely beneficial.  Beyond being an effective system of self defense, Aikido helps develop skills in stress management, conflict resolution, and increasing the amount of peace in one's life.

Classes are offered through the City of Longmont's Recreation Department and classes are held at the St. Vrain. You must call the city to sign up for classes or come down to the Memorial Building to visit, watch or register for class.
