JODO
A traditional Japanese policing art (as opposed to a battlefield art) which focuses on the use of a four foot long staff. Jodo includes the study of swordsmanship, and a number of other traditional Japanese weapons.
IAIDO
Iaido or iaijutsu is the way or art in which one draws and strikes the opponent in one single movement at lightning speed with spirit, sword and body as one—“Ki-Ken-Tai Itto.” Iai literally means “facing an opponent” (or several opponents).

Baltimore Aikido is an all-volunteer 501(c)(8) nonprofit organization. Contributions to Baltimore Aikido support the operation and maintenance of the dojo.
There is no one kind of Aikido Student.
Training with Baltimore Aikido is different from belonging to a gym. Baltimore Aikido offers a strong community based on the nature of our practice, social events, seminars and travel. By training, you become part of a worldwide group of practioners, seeking to better themselves and contribute to a more peaceful society.
Aikido practice can offer considerably more than physical training and lead to a life-long study that transforms how you learn, developing a growth mindset and attitude of receptivity.
