“Practice at a place for long enough, and it starts to feel like home.
I have been learning at Aikido of Casper for about ten years now. I came to Aikido because I am a fundamentally awkward person. I was never very graceful, never very good at sports, and I wanted to inhabit my body. Aikido has taught me to float and to fly, to flex and to bend, to tumble and to step, to lift and throw people who are much larger than myself.
The instructor at Aikido of Casper is Sensei Gabriel Phillips. Sensei Phillips is a person who has practiced aikido for most of his life, and when you meet him, you quickly realize that he's not just a person who fell in love with the art and decided to stick with it. He's a person who continues to study, to learn, and to think deeply about the subtleties of this powerful art. He's been at it for decades, and he's still puzzling over the details of how this stuff works and how to make it better. And he's very forthcoming -- he shares everything he knows.
Aikido of Casper is a friendly and welcoming place. It's accessible to young and old, large and small, male and female, fit and not-so-fit. We're always excited to have someone new on the mat.”
