I have served as the Chief Instructor of Aikido Multnomah Aikikai since 2011. Prior to that I practiced in the dojo as a senior student (1996-2011). I began practicing the martial art of aikido in 1982.

Chief Instructor

Suzane Van Amburgh Sensei has been teaching aikido for 25 years. She holds the rank of 5th degree black belt through Birankai North America and Hombu dojo, Tokyo. Her teaching certification is shidoin. 

Lessons are tailored to the needs of the student. Instruction may include balance exercises, use of eyes, breath, refinement of upper and lower body coordination,  falling and rolling, utilizing ground forces, practice of empty-handed aikido techniques, sword, bokken or jo work. Some people choose private lessons as an alternative to group classes. For many aikido students, a combination of private lessons along with regular group classes promotes accelerated progress.

In addition to her aikido teaching certification, Suzane is a teacher of the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education.  Her approach in teaching, is to create a learning environment where the student can discover themselves through movement. Curiosity, good humor and attentive practice are cultivated. Van Amburgh Sensei works with people of all skills and body types. Teenagers to senior citizens; black belts to beginners are encouraged to train.

I love working with all different kinds of people. We can work anywhere along the spectrum; from dynamic martial movement to the subtleties of breathing. Whether you consider yourself to be in shape or out of shape, injured or training for top performance, we begin with what you can do comfortably, then refine and build your repertoire.
