SUPPORTING YOUR GROWTH
Our instructors aim to provide each and every student with tailored instruction to fit their needs. Each instructor brings their own expertise and teaching style that will allow you to maximize your growth in Aikido from a variety of different perspectives. In addition, we also welcome guest instructors from dojos around the East Coast to come and teach classes from time to time, which additionally offers the opportunity to train with students from other dojos.
