Aikido - Multnomah Aikikai 6415 South Macadam Avenue, Portland, OR 97239

"This place is like a family atmosphere with people and instructors who care for you beyond just what you learn in class. They feed into your growth as a more fully realized human being. I might add this is all done in the spirit of love and encouragement. Necessary ingredients for true growth. Very, very happy here."

"I've been training at Multnomah Aikikai for about 4 years now. Before Aikido I trained in Tae Kwon Do then Karate. I've been fortunate to train with some great teachers, and none better than at Multnomah Aikikai. The level of instruction is world-class and the students are wonderful. The dojo is as much a community as a place to learn a martial art and I deeply appreciate having both. If you are interested in the martial art of Aikido, and are looking for a supportive, engaged, and high caliber place to learn, this is it!"

"Eleven years ago I walked into Multnomah Aikikai after having trained for a bit in Hawaii. I still fondly remember how warmly I was received. Since then, M. Aikikai has become like a second home for me. The training is sincere, and everyone is able to work at the level appropriate to their own development. There are numerous senior instructors and students, so training is only limited be what an individual is willing to bring to the dojo. Aikido is a challenging art to learn, and progress can come slowly, but personally I feel as though I learn something new every class. I am so pleased to be a member of Multnomah Aikikai, and it is hard for me to imagine regularly training anywhere else."
