People love our aikido classes
"I can't really describe the change I've felt since joining this class. Aikido is enlightening and frustrating and amazing all at once. Learning it from as relaxed, experienced, and absolutely welcoming a place as Shinju Dojo was one of the best decisions I've ever made."
- Jess Hilliam
"Fun, inclusive classes that teach and entertain. Learn valuable self defense tools while learning how to fall properly to avoid injury. (That came in handy last winter.)"
- Kathy Wille
"Great classes in friendly environment. My husband, kids and me are enjoying the classes. We learned a lot so far and looking forward to learning more. Heather and Roy are knowledgeable and are attentive to details. They care that we learn the techniques correctly and always give us recommendations on how to improve."
- Zuzana Kelbelova
"Fun and informative class. Both Heather and Roy are very knowledgeable and patient as instructors. Highly recommend."
- Andrea Stanley
"Aikido is maximum effect with least effort. It's also ideal for someone who isn't looking for a new life-style. One of the things I really appreciate is their focus on understanding why and how a technique works. A fringe-benefit of a slow pace is reduced risk--there has not been any injuries since I started about 10 months ago. So far the class-size is small, allowing for a good amount of one-on-one. It also means a close, friendly environment--important when getting dropped to the floor. I also practice Jujitsu (at another dojo), which is significantly faster and riskier by nature. I occasionally miss the slowness aikido allows. I've brought my fiancé to class before, and would bring friends as well."
