I visited a lot of different schools before enrolling my children at Aikido Heiwa. The instructor is very dedicated and honest, and wants kids, (and the adults,) to get great training in more than just Aikido and martial arts, but for life too. The school is a very nice environment too, with a great family environment for everyone. The instructor does not give an impression of "selling" you something. He does it because he loves it. Only complaint is that there are not regular Sunday classes. Otherwise it is great. We have been there for years.
