Founded 1989

Aikido Eastside was the first Aikido school on the “Eastside” in Bellevue, WA. Our school has consistently offered the finest Aikido training available.

After WWII the practice of Aikido was opened up to the public and taken from Japan to virtually every country in the world. At Aikido Eastside we have chosen to make the practice of Aikido as accessible as possible to students of all ages and inclinations.  Please come in and watch a class and meet our instructors!
