We're back to live classes!

Join us Wed 6-8 pm and Sat 2-4 pm at the Kicking Tigers Tae Kwon Do location, Oakview Mall.

Because classes may involve aerobic exercise and/or decreased social distancing, we advise that participants be current on their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Please notify the instructor if you have any health concerns, or if special accommodations need to be made.  If you are ill or developing symptoms of illness, please stay home and recuperate.

​We look forward to seeing you back on the mat!!

Please consider donating to the funeral fund for our dear sensei, who recently passed away.  All extra proceeds will be used to provide for his son, Nathaniel.  Click here to donate.

​Donovan Waite Sensei, you'll be truly missed.  Thank you for being our teacher and friend.

There will be no class on Saturday, Sept 24, due to the loss of a dear and respected aikido friend and sensei, Robert Dix.

Robert, you truly helped us to remember O'Sensei's words to "always practice in a vibrant and joyful manner." Thank you for making the world, and aikido, a better place. You will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and condolences go to Robert's family and to his dojo, Springfield Aikido.

For December:
Mockingbird Hills Community Center will be closed on the Thursdays and Saturdays before/after Christmas and New Year's Day (closed Thu, Dec 24 / Sat, Dec 26 / Thu, Dec 31 / Sat Jan 2).  There will be no class on those days.  Normal class will be held Mon, Dec 28.

For 2016:
We were recently informed that Mockingbird Hills Community Center will discontinue our Saturday classes in 2016.

Master Wes Hall of Kicking Tigers Tae Kwon Do has graciously provided us with a new practice location for  Saturday classes (Thank you, Master Wes!!). Starting Sat, Jan 9, classes will be held at his dojo located at 4834 S 97th Street, Omaha, NE 68127. Stay tuned, as the class time will be changing (likely after 2pm)!

For those of you with children or for those who may be interested in cross-training, Master Wes has a wonderful program. We've been especially impressed with his young students, who regularly demonstrate that martial arts training is life training, not just "learning to fight." Check it out below:

Join us for a free aikido demonstration at the St. Gerald Parish Festival on Sun, Sept 12. We'll be meeting there as a group at 12:45pm to assess our available space before going to the dojo at Mockingbird Hills Community Center to pick up mats. Please come already dressed out in your gi. The demo is currently scheduled to be around 2pm, and all dojo members are welcome to participate regardless of skill level. It should be low-key, and fun!
