Flowing Circle Aikido Center opened it’s doors in mid 2007 at the Samuel Grand Park and Rec center in downtown Dallas, headed by Nicholas Burtner. Our dojo (training hall) is a North Texas Martial Arts development center for the training and study of Aikido.

Our mission is to train with students who want a different approach to martial arts. Although Aikido, in the wrong hands can be devastatingly effective, our core we aim for peace in daily life.

Current practice today will include hands-on, on the mat training as well as mental and physical off the mat training outdoors in nature and in the garden. We will learn together how to wield a living sword.
