What Students Say

Aikido becomes a part of your life - philosophies are trained and ingrained into your thoughts and actions. I have become healthier, slimmer, fitter and sharper in both body and mind. - Will Billings

The Sensei here at the dojo are fantastic. They push us one step further than we think we can go, which has helped me learn and develop not only physically but mentally, too.

- Caroline La Dow

I started learning Aikido in my 50s and it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. What a gift it is to do a physical practice that trains your mind, body and spirit together. - Marvin Oka

I think the best thing about training at the Shudokan is that after almost two and a half years I have not had a single class that I have walked away from without having enjoyed myself and learned something new. - Aaron Cananzi
