Rising Sun Aikido

Tucked along Goodrich Avenue in the heart of South Austin, Rising Sun Aikido keeps traditional aikido alive just blocks from the South Lamar bustle. The dojo teaches adults, kids, and even seniors, stressing the art’s non-competitive blend of throws, joint locks, and evasion as practical self-defense rather than sport spectacle. Class sizes stay small enough that beginners get hands-on correction from their very first night, and the school bills itself plainly as a traditional dojo rather than a fitness franchise. Its 78704 location draws a loyal neighborhood crowd. Visit risingsunaikido.org or call 512-632-5175 to watch a class before stepping on the mat.
