Tenzan Aikido 7700 Aurora Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103

"Sensei, Melissa, and the rest of the team do an absolutely AMAZING job of nurturing kids of all ages and abilities. I can't thank them enough for the beautiful community they've created at Tenzan Aikido. Do you and your family a favor and join this great group of kids and mentors."

"Bookman Sensei and Melissa Sensei are amazing, talented, professionals. Melissa Sensei leads the children's classes where her degrees in Psychology and Education really shine."

"I moved to the area recently, and I was told to check out Tenzan Aikido by my former sensei. Happy to say after my first visit, I couldn't stop coming back! Everyone is extremely friendly and deeply invested in your martial arts training. I take both the aikido and BJJ classes, which are wonderful. I highly recommend Tenzan Aikido to anyone interested in martial arts!"

"I’ve been at Tenzan 6 years? Joined with my son because I knew a couple of folks in the dojo, had never taken a martial art before. The people here are now my second family. All the support you want from really nice people. Didn’t know this 6 years ago but Sensei Bookman brings a depth and breadth that is unique. Lots of class times to choose from."

"Tenzan is a warm, welcoming place full of friendly staff and students both. The atmosphere of learning is impressive with excellent guidance from Sensei, the other teachers, and the more experienced students. When I started practicing here I instantly felt I was part of their community. When I missed a few weeks Melissa called to check in on me, a touch I really appreciated. I'm not currently practicing there due to my schedule, but I would love to go back and continue my studies when my schedule allows."
