I started practicing here last August. The staff and crowd are wonderful and provide an amazing environment to learn. And the dojo is a physical gem setback from the street!

A great place to train, a wonderful community. Good for the mind, body and spirit. With direct conneciton to the founding principles of Aikido (through Saotome Sensei)

My first day was on Friday and I was welcomed in the best way. They took their time out of their day to slowly show me the moves step by step. When you arrive to the dojo you will also sense big positive and peaceful energy. So I would recommend it.

Our family has been in attendance for some time, starting with our daughter who began when she was 4.
Mr Cuffy was an AMAZING youth and teens Aikido sensei. He had a unique style that rapidly built self-confidence and self-reliance in our daughter, and taught her unquestionably to never give up, even when you think you can't do something, because some day you WILL do that thing.
During COVID, we were not able to attend as we had before, but eventually our daughter was able to rejoin, first with virtual classes, then with socially distanced outdoor classes.
This past year, Mr Cuffy had passed, leaving behind a partner of many years, who continues on in his place with her own way of doing things. Ms. Bluestone, Mr Cuffy's very long time partner, brings all of the wisdom and patience to the children that Mr Cuffy had.
While our family sorely misses him, we are eager to continue with this dojo, both as adult participants, and our daughter, looking to find her way forward in life.
The Adult program is equally amazing. The teachers all have a unique view on the world, but are immensely patient, and universally breed calm and confidence in the students.
We look forward to participating in this dojo for many more years to come.
