I first went to a group class which I recommend to anyone when first starting out. After the first class I was hooked. It was an amazing experience where I felt energy flowing through my hands. It has really transformed how I look at everything in life. Practicing Tai Chi has created so much awareness in everything that I do and has transformed my being. It's so simple yet so complex...

I took a self-defense course here, which was organized through the local Adult Ed/high school. It…read morewas very informative and I learned a lot, both about self-defense, and about Aikido. There's a man & woman who run the place (spouses, I believe). Very nice folks who can kick your butt. They ask that you "check your ego at the door" and the environment is welcoming and supportive. They meet you at your level and push to keep you improving. The room is large, with a cool painted wooden slat ceiling, and there is a humongous, cushy mat covering almost the entire floor. (I was told that the building used to be the old, old firehouse/hall). Mentioning the ceiling is worthwhile, as you do spend a bit of time looking at it, after repeatedly landing face-up on the soft mat during a class. I would have continued with my classes, as they were enjoyable; however, I was not comfortable with the whole "everyone's barefoot & we're all rolling around on the mat" thing. I realize that it's necessary for this practice. However, and this is just personal preference on my end, I didn't see anything indicating attention to that detail. Maybe if I knew their mat cleaning schedule and everyone had sparkly-clean feet, I'd be more willing to return. Of note, I do have a highly sensitive sense of smell, and may be bothered by things that others don't even notice. If you can get past the "everyone's sweaty and barefoot" aspect (&, I'm sure most people can), I'd recommend this place. The friendly couple and supportive atmosphere, plus the unique ceiling are worthy of four stars. And, if you're interested in "testing the waters", google Audubon Community Education, as they often team up for low-cost intro classes.

I've been going to this school for years to train and I'll always have fond memories of going…read morethere. Sensei Sam is friendly and a great teacher, always coming up with creative and funny ways to teach us the art. The school has trained many great black belts and those who come in to teach and train in the advanced classes are all extremely capable martial artists in their own right. The style of Aikido they teach is very practical and there is a definite push to ensure that what we learn is truly effective on the street. One thing I would say to a new visitor though is to be patient! Like any art, it takes time to become competent and effective at Aikido so be prepared to put in the effort needed to master the moves. It's well worth the effort!

We've been going for about 2 months and there is already a huge difference in how our 5yo throws a punch or a kick. He looks forward to going and wishes he could do more than 2 classes a week. I'm very impressed with the senseis here. Some of the classes have 15 kids and they know the name of every single one. The class length for the little guys seem to be just right to keep the kids focused. If you have little ones I would recommend this to anybody.
