Jikishinkan ("Direct Mind") Aikido dojo is a non profit organization devoted to the teaching and practice of Aikido, a powerful yet compassionate martial art and spiritual discipline where control is achieved through blending with, rather than confronting the energy of the attack. Our practice includes both adult classes and a comprehensive youth program for ages 6 - 13. Founded by Sensei Joseph Jarman in the late 80s, the dojo currently operates under the direction of Stewart Johnson Sensei, a long-time student of Sensei Jarman and holder of Sandan (third degree black belt) in Aikido.
We are part of the Aikido World Alliance, a national Aikido organization founded by Andrew Sato Sensei. We have been training students since 1992 at our current location. We are also the headquarters of the Brooklyn Buddhist Association and the Direct Mind Zendo.
