Aikido Cultural Institute

My two boys, ages 12 and 10, and I have attended this dojo for over a year. I’m grateful to have the dojo and the teachers in my life. This martial arts experience is different than my prior one in karate in that the focus in not just on the art but on improving yourself as a person. The time we have spent at the dojo has had a profound positive impact on my children and me because what we learn translates into how we interact with one another outside the training in the real world. My boys are stronger and more confident than when they started and I believe much of it has to do with their training. The classes have brought out talents in them that they never thought that they had. It has been thrilling to see their growth and mine as well in such a short time. All of the credit goes to four fantastic teachers who are wholly dedicated to passing down a craft that when practiced at the highlest levels is so beautiful, elegant and graceful. I highly recommend this dojo to all who are interested in improving themselves physically, mentally and spiritually.
