Aikido at Hawks Hill

"I had the pleasure of training with Coletti Sensei at a seminar and it was a very sincere and eye-opening experience. Many of his students traveled the distance to attend the seminar and the representation of Hawks Hill Dojo was warm and inspired. I await the day I get to train with the Hawks Hill folks again."

"Training here is fantastic. I come train with Justin Sensei every time I am in the area. He is incredibly dedicated to transferring his knowledge to his students. The classes really push you, in the best way possible. The students are welcoming and really made me feel at home immediately. The dojo is beautiful and a wonderful place to practice aikido. If you are considering practicing aikido or looking for a new place to train, you should come here."

"There is such a positive energy in the Troy City Aikikai dojo! Coletti Sensei and the upper level students have a real love and respect for the art. Troy City Aikikai offers a variety of different classes that cover the full spectrum of Aikido teachings. One of the great things about being a new student is being welcomed to all classes regardless of skill level. Every class is an incredible workout and I always leave feeling as though I’ve learned something new!"

"Joining Troy City Aikikai is one of the best life decisions I have made. In the short period of time that I have been training ( 7mos) I've physically lost a lot of weight ( 20lbs) gained lots of strength and endurance while mentally chipping away at my ego mind. Coletti Sensei inspires me to step over physical lines and boundaries and truly test my inner fire and spirit. Every class there is something new to learn about the art of Akidio and about yourself. The Dojo environment is incredible. A remodeled barn on acres and acres of farm land really gives us a sense of peace and tranquility while we are training. All of the students at Troy City Aikikai bring a positive attitude to class with friendly smiles and conversation. If your looking for authentic martial arts training and you have positive spirit. Please come by the dojo and watch a class."

"I drive 40 minutes each way to attend classes twice a week. Inevitably, before/after class, I have some new (Aikido related) concept in my mind to contemplate. In the short time that I have been attending, I have found the physical and mental lessons very helpful in my daily life. The location of the school is excellent, fellow students are always willing to lend a hand, and Sensei Justin is very willing to meet individual student needs."
