My 9 year old son has been practicing Ki Aikido for about 2 1/2 years now. I started him in this…read morediscipline because I took martial arts classes as a kid and found that it helped my focus, discipline and respect for others. It has had exactly that effect on my son. I could not be happier with the instructors (Senseis). They are supportive, attentive, yet strict with their expectation that the students pay attention during class. They have helped my son to learn the basics of the art, and now they are showing him some of the more advanced movements he will learn. My son has had a history of starting an activity, then not wanting to finish what he started. Ki Aikido is the exception. Occasionally, he has a little trouble getting going on Saturday morning, but once we approach the dojo, he can't wait to get inside. This group of people teaches without compensation for themselves, other than their satisfaction with the positive influence their efforts bring to our community. In their terms, they extend Ki in Corvallis. The price for these classes is nominal. I suspect it's barely enough to maintain their dojo. The philosophy they teach is peaceful if at all possible. If a peaceful resolution is not possible, then the responses they teach are formidable to be sure. My son has flourished under their tutelage. He has become some one I can be very proud of. I believe these instructors at the Ki Aikido dojo have much to do with that. Just a quick reminder, they have moved into a new location on 4th St. just north of the downtown area. Thanks to all of the Senseis!

I think you probably provide a good service. I just wish your people could be more friendly with neighbors. Maybe they were having a bad day, but they didn't have to take it out on me. Really horrible. Just awful. Very rude and disrespectful.
