Kansha no Shin Dojo

Kansha no Shin Dojo is an Aikido dojo that introduces students to a Japanese martial art combining physical practice, self-defense, and personal development. The dojo presents Aikido as a non-competitive activity that can help participants build discipline, explore their potential, exercise, and form friendships. Its training emphasizes cooperative practice, an approach the dojo describes as appealing to women as well as other students.

The dojo’s published information lists classes at Instituto Gabriel Furtado de Karatê on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. It also promotes free introductory sessions for people interested in discovering Aikido and shares information about intensives and training gatherings, including an intensive with Leonardo Sodré Sensei. Alongside class announcements, Kansha no Shin Dojo publishes educational material about Aikido and the meaning and traditions of the dojo as a training space. Its online presence includes a blog and social media accounts, where visitors can find updates about practice, events, and related topics.
