I am a regular at Shindai, and I love the place and the people. I studied aikido (and karate and judo) briefly many decades ago, and returned to aikido a few years ago with my wife, who had never done any martial arts. The quality of instruction here is amazing -- and we've developed friendships and had great times with the other students. If you've never tried martial arts, or if you have but are looking for an art that will help you every day, aikido may be what you've been looking for. It was for me.

I have been Training for more than 2 years now. I train on aikido solely but the rest of the martial art schools have equally the same quality of people. Shindai is like a big family and the reason my husband and I keep coming is because of the people. We are always having seminars, parties and trying to connect with other schools and dojos. I think that Shindai embraces the true aikido spirit not only on training but also in daily life.
