Etiquette
The bow opens and closes everything. Respect for the mat, the teacher and your partner is the first technique you learn.

Aikido… a direction in life
A dojo where Japanese budo, the discipline of the samurai and the art of harmony are trained together — on the mat, and in the way you carry yourself.

Elie Beam
5th dan Aikikai · Head Instructor
Sensei Elie Beam began aikido twenty-five years ago and has never stepped off the path. Shaped deeply by Japanese culture and the spirit of the samurai, he found in aikido something far larger than technique: an art of peace that transforms the way one meets conflict, on the mat and in daily life.
He began teaching in 2010, traveling each year to international seminars to keep his training honest and open. His belief is simple — “Aikido is not only a martial art, it is a way of life” — and that message of peace is the one he brings to every class at Seven Aikido.
気 · Ki
The way of harmonising spirit
Aikido was born from the sword arts of the samurai and shaped by Morihei Ueshiba into a practice of protection rather than conquest. Nothing is broken, nothing is forced — the attack is received, joined and returned to stillness.
At Seven Aikido we keep that spirit intact: traditional forms, real etiquette, honest training. The compass in our mark is deliberate — seven directions, one path, chosen freely.

What we train, beyond technique
Wa
Harmony
Aikido does not meet force with force. We blend, redirect and resolve — protecting ourselves without destroying the other.
Bu
Budo
The samurai trained the body to forge the character. Every fall, every strike with the bokken is practice in composure.
Do
The Path
There is no final belt, only a direction. Aikido is a discipline you carry off the mat and into your daily life.
