What our students say about Aikido:

-Mark D., 3rd Kyu, Police Officer(mdigilio28@aol.com):
"Aikido is a very practical and powerful martial art and a very effective means of self defense. As a twelve year veteran of a busy city police department, I have had cause to use aikido in a very direct and realistic manner...."

 -Ted G., 3rd Kyu, Counselor(goehcar110@msn.com):
"I find that Aikido is a great workout and an excellent way to reduce stress. When I'm training I become focused on the task at hand and the stresses of the day dissolve. When the training is over I feel stress free and centered."

-Catherine H. Nursing Student(horanpolarity@yahoo.com):
"Aikido helps me train both my mind and body together, to become more flexible and supple. As an adult beginner that has never practiced a martial art before, I find everyone at the dojo very helpful and supportive....It's a lot of fun, too!" 

 -Paul Miroff, 1st deg. black belt, App. Specialist, IBM(aiki4zen@yahoo.com):
"It's just a really cool martial art with so many things to explore and practice... The people who practice Aikido are just the most pleasant people you can meet... It keeps me sane... It is allowing me to be more flexible (body and mind)."
