I started at the Aikibudokan in 2005. It was the best decision I could have made. I have learned a great deal about a martial art that I can continue to practice for years to come. The training was consistent and increasing in complexity as I advanced through the system. Early in my training I received personalized help in order to achieve new rank. Now I give my time to help others reach their goals.

I've been training here since 2006. The important thing to recognize is that the dojo runs as a more athletic-club atmosphere, rather than a commercial business. The primary interest is promoting martial-art skills in students. That means that the focus is on your learning, rather than your entertainment or self esteem. So come in if you want to learn. Genuinely learn. Nothing else. Lots of great memories have come from here. And, I'm not going to lie, some bad memories have come from here. However, you cannot gain if you do not lose. Humility and focus are not requirements to join, but are needed to advance or even to stay long. You'll either develop them or stagnate. I love the fellow students in this dojo, even if I don't always like them. There have been lifelong friendships developed here. I trust anyone here with my life, which is lucky because I do on a regular basis. So join if any of the above interests you, but don't expect to stay the same as you entered. And don't expect the lie of certainty. Just progress.

Horrible place! I took classes for a month here and when I started not only did the sensei ask me what medicines I was on in addition to any mental illnesses (which can affect you practicing any martial art). I told him right off the bat that I suffer from attention deficit disorder as well as depression and that I take meds for attention deficit disorder. His response was less than nice: he asked me "is there anything not wrong with you?" A month later I get an email basically kicking me out of class because I am essentially a slow learner. To me that says that you don't want to help the the very person that this particular form of soft or hard martial art may help.

The Aikido lineage and spirit that Tomiki passed on to Karl Geis and which he subsequently passed on to his students, present company included , is very much alive in this Dojo . The approach is well rounded, balanced and honors content and tradition, inspiring thorough learning to become a martial artist , as well as continuing to develop as a well rounded black belt. Everyone works hard together to help each other improve. This school deserves and has earned a high recommendation.

I agree , the head of the school is very hard to communicate with. He is drawn in to the Japanese dictatorial culture and that does not fly in the U.S land of freedom. No question , no talking, do what we tell you to do, don't talk to sensei , you have to talk to some black belt before reaching sensei. But the lessons are very good for the first 6 months. it is a good school for starter, if you can stand the attitudes of Japanese Kingdom.
