Beau McGuffie SenseiBeau McGuffie

Head Dojo Instructor

Having come from years of training in kung fu, Aikido had always intrigued me. "I knew how to fight, now I wanted to know how not to fight, which to me is Aikido, a dynamic art that allows you not hurt your attacker."

Aikido philosophies are a way of life and has helped immensely in the business world and family life.
