About Our Website

Hi! I’m Sophie Ovcharenko (pictured far right), a 4th Kyu aikidoka and junior high school student. I’ve noticed it’s generally difficult to find aikido information, which may be one of the reasons the martial art is so underrated. Hopefully, my compilation of technique videos/posts, upcoming events , and general information has been useful to you!

Have any questions or suggestions for the website?
