Water Oak Aikikai is an intimate, traditional dojo tucked into the beautiful woods of Weddington, North Carolina. Weddington is in the South-East portion of the Charlotte metro-area, just minutes from Providence Road and I-485. The dojo is a dedicated 40 tatami training space with enough clearance for virtually any weapons training. The dojo was originally built as a private training space for the

McLuskie family behind their house. During a seminar in Charlotte, Yamada Sensei had the opportunity to visit the dojo. As he was leaving he instructed William to "open a school and start teaching students". This led to the registration of Water Oak Aikikai under the United States Aikido Federation in May 2003. Water Oak Aikikai offers instruction in Aikido, Aikido for Children, Self Defense, Women's Self Defense, Cane Self Defense, Japanese Weapons. Our emphasis (specialty) is teaching martial arts to the whole family as an enriches everyone's life.

I am really, really proud to announce that my wife, Brenda McLuskie, has published her first book.

"Let's Go Swimming, Teach Your Child To Swim"

Brenda has taken 30 years of experience from competitive swimming, coaching and teaching to develop a book that provides parents the tools and confidence they need to teach their children to swim. This book provides songs and exercises and a structured format to build classes and develop your teaching style allowing you to become the expert in the pool.

This is a fantastic book for parents and grandparents of small children. If you are interested, the book is available on Kindle, paperback or hard cover on Amazon.com.
