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.

I think that it’s a bodacious place with excellent people from the top down to the beginner.

Richard P.

Everyone in windsong is so nice! I can feel improving everyday! So lucky to recognize you guys!

Yue G.

I travel from Fl. to learn at this dojo, and will continue to do so.

David S. - Florida

The best place for budo, not just in OKC or even Oklahoma, but regionally. Nick Lowry sensei has something to offer everyone.

Neil M.

Tradition meets science in the arts of self defense. Awesome in every way.

Wayne G.

This is such a great place. Of course, the Aikido techniques are sound, but the people and practitioners are some of the finest people I have ever met. You will have fun and learn a lot about yourself as well.
