Dojo da Luz
A place to practise the Way.
More than a training room, the Dojo is a place of learning, attention and community.
The place of practice.
Dojo literally means the place where the Way is practised. It is dedicated to physical, mental and relational development.
Dojo da Luz also includes a social space to read, talk, watch films and spend time together before or after practice.

Luciana Quaresma
Colaboradora - Dojo da Luz
O Aikido entrou na minha vida muito cedo. Para mim, vai muito além de uma arte marcial: é movimento, disciplina, presença e uma forma de me manter conectada comigo mesma.
A minha paixão por esta arte faz-me sentir mais viva. Hoje, continuo a treinar, a aprender e a descobrir novas possibilidades no meu corpo e em mim mesma.
A living transmission.
