About Five Rivers
Welcome to Five Rivers Ki Aikido, where we practice Shin Shin Toitsu Aikido (link to glossary in About Aikido section). Our dojo’s name refers to the many rivers in southeastern Virginia where we train. Rivers suggest energy and flow, which are essential to the practice of Aikido.
We are members of Virginia Ki Society and Ki Society International. We practice at the Riverside Wellness and Fitness Center in Gloucester, VA on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. We are a club, and every member pays dues ($35/month). If you are interested in trying Aikido, you are welcome to observe or participate in your first class at no charge.
Our instructor is Sensei Steve Zimmerman [photo], who has the rank of shodan. Classes are conducted for all levels of training.
