Aikido of Santa Cruz

Nov 2023

I thought it would be funny to leave a review about a guy with a bad attitude who wants to learn how to beat people up that keeps walking in the door and outside. He can't figure out how he ends up outside the more forcefully he enters the door. He looks up at the frame, it says Aikido Door Company. If you need a locksmith get Lucky but if you need to flip your attitude and roll come here!

I feel fortunate to have access to this incredible Aikido school in Santa Cruz. The teachers offer training to students of all skill levels, and the community of students is welcoming and supportive. The classes are a great work out and lots of fun!

One of the best places to do Aikido in northern California. Authentic Aikido taught by very experienced instructors. Disclaimer: I haven't actually trained with them since about 1991. But I am sure they are still a great group. And why should my opinion count? I have been teaching martial arts (primarily traditional Japanese Karate) since 1984 and am considered by many to be among the best there is at teaching it. When I get back to Aikido, this is definitely where I will be doing it. I highly recommend this group.
