I started training in Aikido at the Genyokan back in 1994. It was the greatest experience I have…read moreever had. I can't believe any bad reviews of the Genyokan because I trained under Kushida Sensei, Mrs. Kushida Sensei and Akira Sensei for many years and they all taught me how to be a better human being and learn the basics of Aikido. Unfortunately there are people who come into Aikido thinking they will learn a martial art to go use it for bad intentions, Those people will weed themselves out of any quality Aikido Dojo no matter where they are in the World. The thing about Aikido is you have to learn and understand the history and how to use it to become a better person. It is the most aerobic activity I ever did and I played basketball most of my life and Aikido made me much more healthier than any other sport or training. Many of the bad reviews I believe are from people who were looking to learn how to damage and hurt others when they should have used the experience to make themselves better human beings from the inside out. If you are thinking of training in Aikido to learn skills to hurt others you WILL FAIL. The instructors at the Genyokan will see through you and your bad intentions and most likely try and change your attitude or they will encourage you to leave because this is not a Martial Art you learn just to hurt others. If you can't figure that out then it's on YOU. I trained in every level of classes at the Genyokan and loved every minute. I made life long friends and only stopped training due to my life becoming so busy with raising children and granchildren that I no longer had the time to do anything other than work and family. I have health issues that keep me from rejoining the Genyokan and train in Aikido again but I will never forget what I learned from the Kushida family and I will always recommend training there under Akira Sensei, no matter your age or size you can gain so much helpful life knowledge by training at the Genyokan and become a much healthier human being.

Whether you are an avid athlete, old, young, new to martial arts or a black belt, discipline and virtue is implanted in the teachings and messages of this establishment. I am greatly honored to have been taught. You will learn everything from traditional customs to self defense against anything you can think of. The training I have received is top of the line and the most rewarding thing I've done in my life. I was an unruly teen with anger issues, but the strictness and flow of the taekwondo aided me and let me enhance myself into a better person. Side note-if your child is misbehaving, I suggest you give them a chance here. This center produces smart, independent and disciplined children.

So my child would stand and kick a bag incorrectly. The children were supposed to be getting instruction on how to perform the forms at each level of belt rank. This was only done perhaps 5 minutes out of each class. Many times my child didn't receive forms instruction for several class periods. Children are moved up the belt ranks quickly even if they are not prepared because there's money in it for Kils as they charge to move you up a rank. Master Kil himself will call you and your child into a separate room where he'll ask your child "You want a trophy right?" and shame you into participating in tournaments. Again, they make a lot of money off the tournaments. I think this place used to be better. I think it used to focus on having the students learn the routines, but not anymore. Id look elsewhere.
