I’ve only been there for a couple of classes, and everyone’s been super welcoming and the instructor has a lot of knowledge in many styles of martial arts. They are helping me while I switch back and forth from my taekwondo brain into the Akkido brain, and I really enjoy taking classes.

I love this dojo so much. I'm very proud of it and will always consider it my home dojo. It's a tight-knit community of people who end up becoming good friends, and the aikido is high quality.
