I've been attending the iai classes for a little over a year now, and can honestly say it's one of the highlights of my week. The community is close knit, feeling more like a family instead of a group of strangers. The instructors are top notch, really invested in their art and making sure the students receive the best instruction based on their skill level. The school even manages to invite instructors from across the country, providing opportunities to learn different arts, see different styles and just have fun. You don't want to pass this up!

One of the best seminars I have ever attended. The people (leaders and attendees) made the difference. Great interaction. I learned a lot.

Beautiful dojo. They bring in guest instructors from all over the country as well as having outstanding local instructors. They teach to all levels and make new students really welcome and comfortable. I really enjoy the adults only atmosphere. This is a fun place where students truly are excellent to each other!

I recently had the opportunity to attend the jo nage seminar at Castle Rock Aikido with Joel Nakamura-sensei. The industrial, storefront facade of the building belies the simple, yet traditional, training hall within...all the trappings of a first-rate dojo! The lighting and acoustics were more than adequate to see and hear the guest instructor, and the ample mat area allowed us to train safely in groups large and small. The Castle Rock Aikido staff accommodated attendees graciously, and the dojo's regular students exemplified the spirit of aikido in their manner of training. Thanks for a great experience, looking forward to the next seminar!

I have been practicing iaido at Castle Rock Aikido since 2011 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Monica Iwakabe is a fantastic instructor who covers not only the actual movements of iai, but the philosophical, historical, and technical background of everything we do. Every time I go to class, I learn something new! Class is both physically and mentally stimulating. Iwakabe-sensei takes time to individually teach based on our different skill levels, and I'm very honored to be her student. I have also known Sean ever since I started class. He's a wonderful peer who is always interested in a deeper understanding of martial arts and encourages a well-rounded learning environment. He runs the dojo like a well-oiled machine - I appreciate his clarity with dojo rules, and how easy it is to sign-up for classes. If you're looking to practice iai, or any other martial art offered at this school, I highly recommend Castle Rock Aikido.
