Welcome to Bridgetown Aikido. We are the place for you to start your Aikido training in Portland, Oregon. Aikido is a non-aggressive martial art, based on the principle of blending with an attack and redirecting it, instead of harming or injuring one's opponent.
We are a traditional Aikido Dojo, affiliated with Aikikai Hombu Dojo (Aikido World Headquarters) in Japan. Aikido is an excellent form of physical exercise and self defense. The study of Aikido involves learning smooth, balanced and coordinated movement in a non-competitive, cooperative atmosphere. We invite you to train with us. All levels are welcome.

What Parents & Students are Saying: "After having explored many of the cities Aikido dojos, I was left with only one choice… Bridgetown Aikido. Friendly, yet meaningful, practice that makes for a comfortable introductory experience for beginners and a serious (but not somber) ongoing challenge to improve for more senior participants. More doing, less talking and a warm and supporting community without attitude. It's been a very positive experience for both my 8 yr old son and me." -Kenn
"I have two boys, 5 and 7 years old and both go to classes here. I cannot say enough good things about it! Eddie is wonderful and patient with the kids yet provides structure and teaches respect throughout. His own boys take the classes there which to me was lovely to see, it feels like a family place, not just a huge martial arts school that wants your money. Not only are Eddie and his kids there, his wife is there and super friendly all the time and his dad even has come to teach.
