New York Aikido Alliance (NYAA)

I have been attending classes at this dojo for around 4 years now and I can say that it is a pleasure training with my fellow aikidokas. They easily set a hospitable atmosphere. The senseis of this school are very patient with everyone and adapt their class to suit the needs of every student that attends. They have many years of teaching experience and, personally speaking, they've been a great aid to my journey on the path of aikido.

This is a top tier Non-profit Aikido School in NYC. I attended a few and this one truly stands out - all teachers (Sensei) really know what they are doing, from traditional techniques to weapons. Keep in mind that, Chief Instructor is also on international testing committee of the entire World Aikido Alliance organization. It has students with range of ranks and they take time to go over basics to make sure you build solid foundation before you go to the next level.

After the training in this dojo for over 3 years, I have been growing stronger not only physically but emotionally. This dojo is like a good family that will help each other anytime. I feel tired after each class, but when some time passes, I am full of energy again and want to keep doing more. This dojo helped me with my physical problems and I feel more confident. And see you next time in the dojo.
