    Suzuki Sensei and her students are patient, understanding, and friendly!…read more I felt very welcome during my first class. Since I was new to aikido, Suzuki Sensei and her students coached me through moves with patience and encouragement. My good work was rewarded with praise and my mistakes with comforting words. I understand many prospective students might be intimidated with trying aikido. Students are probably mostly frightened by making mistakes. Don't be afraid. Suzuki Sensei and her students are very understanding. They welcome mistakes. They aim to nurture those who are eager to learn.

    I have been a student at AKSB for about nine months. It has been an amazing platform for my health…read more- physical and mental. I studied a different form of martial arts many years ago, and have a tried a few others since. I knew almost nothing about aikido when I began, having just heard it referenced in a book on "mastery," but it had stuck in my head. My first phone message was promptly returned by Lia Suzuki Sensei, who answered all my questions an invited me to come in for an "intro special," including 2 classes and a uniform. It turns out that aikido was just what I needed. It is really hard work, and I found that after about 30 minutes on the mat, it was all I could do to stay focused on my body flailing about, which took me right out of my stressed-out head. ASKB has classes for students of all ages, sometimes separating kids, teens, and adults, and sometimes of mixed levels. Once you pay your dues, you are encouraged to train as much as possible. One thing I love is that most classes are small (less than 10 people), which makes for a great workout and lots of personalized attention. I prefer it that way. I was never into gymnastics nor do I like tumbling. But from the very beginning, the teachers and students at ASKB meet you at whatever level you are at, teaching you to fall safely and (sometimes) gracefully. We talk a lot about being in "conversation" with your training partner, and it's a metaphor that extends a long way. As someone new to Santa Barbara, this was a great find for me. Reasonably priced, consistent, artistic, soulful exercise. Yes!
