“I’ve been training at Multnomah Aikikai for about 4 years now. Before Aikido I trained in Tae Kwon Do then Karate. I’ve been fortunate to train with some great teachers, and none better than at Multnomah Aikikai. The level of instruction is world-class and the students are wonderful. The dojo is as much a community as a place to learn a martial art and I deeply appreciate having both. If you are interested in the martial art of Aikido, and are looking for a supportive, engaged, and high-caliber place to learn, this is it!”
