I started training at Capital City Aikido in May 2017, after moving to Montgomery for work. The dojo under Holmes Sensei's leadership was incredibly welcoming, and has really made me feel like part of the community. Holmes Sensei is working on some very interesting internal mechanics that offer new and experienced students alike plenty to explore. And don't be fooled: there is plenty of technical expertise to back up the more esoteric subjects of study. I'd highly recommend coming to train with us whether you've never experienced a martial before or whether you've been at it for years. read more

From the Business

Specialties

Capital City Aikido is a traditional Aikido dojo located in Montgomery, Alabama. We are a not-for-profit school that has been in continuous operation for over 20 years. Aikido is a mentally and physically challenging martial art that is much more than just a collection of joint locks, throws, and pins. The more important aspect of Aikido training is the development of personal character - integrity, humility, respect, confidence, self control - that comes as a result of continued, rigorous physical training. Capital City Aikido is affiliated with the Aikikai Foundation (Aikido World Headquarters) in Tokyo, Japan and the Takemusu Aikido Association.

History

Established in 1995.

Ron Myers opened Capital City Aikido after being transferred to Maxwell Air Force Base. Myers Sensei served as dojo-cho until 2013. Our classes have always been free, and we are honored to serve the Montgomery community

Meet the Business Owner: Holmes K.

Holmes is the dojo-cho and chief instructor at Capital City Aikido. Holmes began training at Capital City Aikido in 2002 under Ron Myers (Sandan) and Greg Jennings (Nidan). He was awarded the rank of nidan by John Driscoll (Yondan) and Michael O'Quinn (Godan) at Aikido Nord Du Lac in Mandeville, Louisiana. Holmes is a former uchideshi at Aikido in Fredericksburg under Aviv Goldsmith (Rokudan). When he isn't training, Holmes spends his time writing mobile apps, raising two kids, and building guitars.

My middle son is very high energy and everyone there is patient with him. Between Tiger Rock and his daycare he is now saying Ma'am and Sir on a regular basis. Mr. Crutchfield helps teach the children, focus, respect and fortitude. I am one that believes it takes a village to raise a child and I am grateful to be a part of the Tiger Rock family. My Grandma says that my children keep me on my toes. Every day is a new challenge. I am truly blessed to be a part of this organization and can't wait to start lessons with my daughter and myself one day. Emily and Kevin go above and beyond all the time without a second thought. They are good people and great role models.

The water is bright blue and absolutely beautiful, it's such a great place to learn how to paddle board (no waves, no current).

The dock is well maintained and so are the paddle boards, the owner/staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Note that they're only open on Saturday's and Sunday's.

Pool Liner install Nightmare…read more Paid to have a new liner installed. Let the nightmare begin. 6 weeks after paying half up front. Nick attempted to install the new liner. After removing the old liner and attempting to patch a couple of cracks where ground water was leaking in, he walked off the job being he didn't measure correctly the size of the pool. Hence liner didn't fit. After about 45 minutes of trying to install the liner, he said it didn't fit. He left the new liner hanging and walked away. The ground water leak wasn't fixed. Never in my life have I seen a contractor just up and quit in the middle of a job. Now we are stuck with winter coming and a pool that is messed up. Ground water filling up under the unfitted liner. Nick did however curse and kick the liner, this had to effect on making the liner fit the pool. He did give a full refund.
