Los Angeles Aikikai has been open and in continuous operation since 1956. It’s the oldest Aikido dojo in the U.S.(mainland). Many of the instructors have been training there for over 20 years. They are directly affiliated with the founders dojo in Japan. The training is vigorous and very effective. Aikido is an excellent martial art for all ages, especially women. If you’re looking for a great self defense system, try Aikido and if you’d like great effective instruction, you need to check out Los Angeles Aikikai. I’ve trained for 26 years all over the world and there’s no place that compares to it.

For beginners this is the best dojo to train at. Everyone is extremely helpful, knowledgable, and supportive. The aikido taught here is very practical and effective. If you are an advanced student you will gain a lot of insight into the art of aikido and a great work out.

This is one of the best Aikido schools I’ve ever trained at. I’ve trained all over the world, and in a lot of cities in this country, and this is one of the best. Much more practical than the schools where you wave your arms around, and your opponent is expected to fall down. None of that nonsense here. This Aikido works. Good workout, as well!
