Aikido San Diego Aikikai

Aikido teaches a non-​aggressive, defensive form of martial arts. The kids learn discipline, coordination and strength. The monthly price, which might vary, allows a kid to go 2 times/​week for an hour each class. The teachers are excellent, and the sensei really understands what is appropriate for kids, and allows an appropriate balance, while still expecting a respectful class environment. I highly recommend the San Diego Akikai!

I have been very impressed with San Diego Aikikai. As someone new to martial arts and intimidated with the task of finding a reputable dojo, I was surprised and pleased at how friendly, helpful, and straightforward the members and teachers were. From what I can tell as a beginner, the dojo seems to be quite traditional and remains true to the fundamentals of aikido which I very much appreciated. Unlike other dojos I have visited, SD Aikikai never pressured me to sign a contract or made me feel uncomfortable about money. It seems that they are truly committed to the growth and development and their students. Although I am unable to continue my training at this time, I look forward to returning to this dojo when my schedule allows.
