City Aikido of LA

is this place still open ?

Good school quality instructors

Have been going to this dojo for a little over 9 months in my experience it has been a great place to learn Aikido. The sensei is very patient with people who struggle with learning the techniques and he stays after class to help if needed. Keep in mind that on Mondays there is a different sensei, but the classes are still top notch.

If you want to get into shape, going to these classes are a great way to go about it. The whole dojo is super friendly and they are always happy to answer questions. If you want to show up to a class in some workout pants and a t-shirt, I'm sure they will let you step on the mat for some 1 on 1 practice with a seinor student. Just make sure to take your shoes off at the door.

I have been practicing here since early August 2017. Great teacher. I started out super out of shape since I haven't practiced Aikido in a long time, Nishida Sensei was very patience with me and he help me get back in shape and get back on track. The students there are very friendly and helpful, no egos.

If you are looking for a traditional Japanese martial arts this is the place for you. They offer 2 free classes for you to try out. They also offer traditional weapon class call Iaido, Japanese swordsmanship.

This place is awesome! Everyone is super friendly and helpful. This art is complicated and you need to be dedicated. i ended up quitting and went back to wrestling but if you're looking to practice Japanese martial arts and want and old school feel, this place is for you. the sensei is still practicing at 80 years old, he is super knowledgeable, and you will learn a lot!
