Great Lakes Aikido

"Went to my second self defense class here—it was amazing. Easy, practical, approachable and the instructors could not be nicer. Lots of real world applications!"

"It’s a wonderful place to learn basic self-defense. The instructors are very welcoming and teach many skills you can use in your daily life. Our class was made up of many different ages, and everyone had a great time!"

"An Aikido dojo dedicated to traditional training of Aikido. The dojo, instructors, and students are dedicated to core principles of the martial art, while systematically training for the modern day. The instructors are very welcoming and understand each individual students abilities. Students will be challenged to become better not only in the martial art, but also in everyday life. Instructors are very patient and a number of instructors have extensive training and teaching in the martial art for over 20 years. The community is well organized, welcoming, and well established with students ranging from age three (3) to sixty-five plus (65+). The dojo also participates in events held within numerous US states and countries (Poland, Russia, Croatia, India, and Trinidad). This is a great dojo to train in traditional Aikido, be part of a great community, and travel."

"These guys are awesome! Very good aikido!"
