George S.

Just started taking classes here for Aikido. This is a great dojo with the best floor I’ve ever been on for training. The general feel is very laid back and inviting with still keeping a traditional aura. The people that I’ve met so far have also been very pleasant and eager to teach and learn.

Sirven A.

Love this place. Great techniques taught by even better people. Super fun learning the judo throws and grappling.

Jake W.

Knowledgeable instructors who treat you like family. The goal is to learn each art without getting injured in the process.
