Description
Among the various streams of tradition, we at the Still Point Aikido Center follow the teachings of O'Sensei which indicate that the origin of aikido is in the center of each individual, as well as in the movements of the dynamic world in which we live. We therefore pursue a study of realistic defensive arts which embody principles that may be directly applied to everyday living.
We offer both adult and children's classes at the Still Point dojo, and sponsor community outreach programs in association with Austin Parks and Recreation Department. If you would like to signup, or have questions about our program, you can email us at etaison@stillpointaikido.com, call us at (512) 703-8942, or write us at:
Still Point was founded in late 1991 by Sensei Ross Robertson in order to promote Seidokan aikido to a broader community within the Austin area and to pursue aikido as a full time occupation. Sensei Robertson began his training in Dallas with Sensei Bill Sosa in 1979. After moving to Austin to attend the University of Texas where he graduated with a degree in Cultural Anthropology, he continued his practice with the University of Texas Aikido Club. Ross began teaching Aikido in 1981. In 1991, he founded the Still Point Aikido Center. Under the guidance of Sensei Bill Lee and later Sensei Stephen McAdam, he was awarded the degree of Yondan by Seidokan Kancho Roderick T. Kobayashi early in 1993. In October of 1997, he was promoted to his current rank of Godan, by the present Seidokan Aikido Kancho, Stewart Chan.
