    I have had a wonderful time as a newcomer in this dojo. Every time I attend I'm learning something new and refining my technique and approach. Sensei Lavi has a terrific demeanor that is welcoming to all and dedicated to form and deeply understanding the art in a personal and professional sense. Would highly recommend for those curious in pursuing Aikido.
