We teach traditional Aikido as handed down by Aikido's founder, Morihei Ueshiba, emphasizing Aikido's capabilities from passive gentle persuasion to full street effectiveness along with it's philosophy, ideals and ethics.
We are an organization of traditional aikido dojos under the direction of our chief instructor and founder, Sensei Greg O'Connor. Through Sensei O'Connor we enjoy a direct relationship with Aikido World Headquarters (Aikido Hombu Dojo, Tokyo). O'Connor Sensei's goal is to create and maintain high quality Aikido dojos, to teach high quality Aikido, to encourage and to support each student, to build their character, their confidence and self-esteem and to increase the overall quality of each students life.
Aikido Centers of New Jersey is the largest traditional Aikido dojo organization in New Jersey. We currently have traditional Aikido dojos in East Hanover (formerly in Morristown), Clifton, Newton, Manasquan, Summit (at the Summit YMCA) and now in Lancaster, PA.
