As soon as I got to The Dojo I knew I'd found the Martial Arts school I'd been looking for. This…read moreplace is fun and friendly, and they have quietly turned out champions for years. Everyone made me feel welcome, and the training is extremely effective. It doesn't take long in the entry level Skills Lab to build striking and ground skills that are designed for someone who might really need to use them - in the cage, or on the street. The classes are fast-paced and I always end up getting a great workout almost without realizing it. The Art is definitely a fusion - Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling, Boxing, Catch, Silat, Kali come in to play (to name a few.) I love the Sila Yoga. The Dojo is the only place in the US you can learn it, and it is so different from any other style of yoga I've tried! It definitely builds strength as well as flexibility, and I love the way it uses the animal movements and postures. These guys do a lot of outdoor training too, and classes at the park or seminars in the mountains have been some of my favorite training here. Last but not least, The Dojo is the regional training center for C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Systems. C.O.B.R.A Self Defense's scenario based and police academy style training really set it apart as far as effectiveness and how simple it is to apply for anyone. It's so important to have a real, tested self defense program that any age or experience level can really use when they need it. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Jordan, Caleb, Thomas, Ryan and Riley. All the other coaches seem great too, but those are the ones I and my son interacted with the most. My teenager really enjoyed the classes--learning to push himself, develop new skills, and eventually, as he got into the adult classes, sparing. I wasn't interested in sparing or rising the ranks--which there is a lot of opportunity to do at McMahon. For me, however, it was more about physical fitness and trying something out of my comfort zone, and I was welcomed just the same. I really appreciate that they take students at whatever place they are and foster an environment open to all varieties of goals and abilities. There is also a growing women's group that's very welcoming and inclusive. Overall, a great place!

The atmosphere is very welcoming, friendly, and relaxed. All ages and sizes are encouraged to attend and the instruction is second to none. The dojo has become like my second home. O'Hara Sensei brings over 18 years of martial arts training to bear. And, while his advanced training can be very practical and precise, he encourages all students to explore and find their own "AiKi" methods. In the end, Aikido is about improving yourself. From the first day I have been learning and I continue to learn more with every class. This summer, Fort Collins Aikikai is actually providing FREE classes on Tuesdays. This is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone who has been curious about self-defense but, maybe, has been deterred by the cost. The only detractor is that the practice space is a little difficult to find. We work out in a community space that is not well marked located next to Fusion Massage. There is another Aikido dojo just around the corner with a HUGE sign. That is the wrong place. The dojo does NOT face Mason St. It is located in the parking lot complex that contains the Foundations Music School. This is NOT "Aikido of Fort Collins"! Fort Collins Aikikai is not a business. It is an Aikido club, made up of individuals who are interested in learning and sharing the philosophy and art of Aikido.

When I started training here over 9 years ago, I did not think I would like karate, but instantly after my first class, I knew I wanted to commit to training in martial arts since it was so fun! The instructors here also do a great job at teaching kids and adults of all ages fantastic character development skills, which helps people become leaders and help out other people. At Ripple Effect they talk about being respectful to people, and how students should not only be respectful at karate, but also at school and home which is a fantastic thing for kids to hear. All in all, if you or someone else is wanting wanting to start martial arts, while also becoming an awesome leader, I would highly recommend trying out a class at Ripple Effect!
