The Aikido Association Atlanta is a wonderful school offering Aikido and Iaido training for adults and teenagers in a great and safe learning environment. The dojo is very welcoming overall, with knowledgeable and highly qualified teachers whose empathy makes learning this subtle art fun and effective. Students find a space to quiet the mind, strengthen the body, and meaningfully connect with others. Everyone at the dojo has a helpful and supportive attitude, from the senseis to the other students. Training is non-aggressive and students are encouraged and challenged to do their best, find their own limits, and go beyond them. It is an exercise that is fun enough to do consistently, suitable for all ages, and praised for helping individuals develop self-confidence and inner strength. Many reviewers have trained for years and confidently assert that training here is well worth one's time and effort.
This is a welcoming aikido dojo in which all train in an atmosphere of commitment, fun, and support. I absolutely loved training here!

My son loves this dojo. The community here is all that you could ever dream of. He has been attending for 4 years and has learned so much. I am so grateful to the sensei's for being who they are.
