We practice Sundays 12:15-2:30 at Capital Aikikai, a dojo we share with Aikido and Katori Shinto Ryu groups. 

Capital Aikikai is located at 923 Sligo Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20910. Our Metro stop is Silver Spring (Red line), and we are a 10 minute walk from the station. One note: The dojo entrance is not on Sligo Avenue itself, but in the alley just north of it, off Mayor Lane.

There is ample parking directly across from the dojo entrance, in the Fenton Street Village parking garage.

Weather permitting, once a month we practice in Damascus, MD. This practice is outdoors and focuses on distance shooting. Distance shooting (28 meters) is open to those who have taken first shot and have been regularly practicing for at least a year.

But we will have makiwara available to newer students in Damascus, so everyone practicing in the dojo is welcome to join outdoor practices. As always, anyone is welcome to come observe.
