East Lake Aikido,

3359 36th Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55406

"Enjoyable, transformative experience. Fitness for body, mind and spirit. Welcoming community."

"This is the dojo if you're interested in an inclusive community led by absolute Aikido-enthusiasts! Both my son and I attend, can't recommend them enough. Stop by to observe or have a free trial!"

"Love, love, love this dojo - it's not possible to adequately sum up in a google review! I've been a member here for almost 2 years now and have grown so much, both physically and personally. Galen Sensei gives great instruction and always challenges me to grow. The community is super kind and supportive. Very welcoming to trans and non-binary people of all ages (I say this as a trans man)."

"East Lake Aikido has opened my mind to the possibility that I can be strong! Galen is a thoughtful leader. The classes are full of joy and intentional hard work. The children’s classes are fun and focused. This dojo has found the magical sweet spot of youthful energy and spiritual focus."

"My family started up with East Lake Aikido a month ago. The atmosphere that Galen and Hannah provide is warm yet focused. I appreciate getting to know the traditions of a Aikido while at the same time having fun with my my family. I'm already seeing boosts in confidence for my son and I haven't sweat this much in quite a long time."
