My son and I are moving to Atlanta to be a part of Peachtree Aikikai--and I've never lived outside of a 35-mile radius from Washington, D.C., so I doubt anything I say about this dojo could be more powerful or complimentary than that.
Peachtree Aikikai is a place of excellence, when it comes to the training, as well as a place of outstanding morality. The teachers here are all VERY GOOD, and are committed to the art, to this dojo, and to their Sensei, Chief Instructor Blue Spruell. The kids' program here is the best I've seen.
Whether you're considering adult classes, classes for your kids, or both, the folks at Peachtree will help you to develop and improve your physical and mental skills regardless of what level of experience you're starting from, and regardless of whether you've ever done martial arts before.
My best advice is to come in, talk to the teachers about watching a class, if you like--but better yet, TRY ONE! Get out there on the mat and see what it feels like, because that will be a far better and more telling experience. And don't be concerned if it's your first time.... the Peachtree folks will take care of you. :) read more
