Peachtree Aikikai Aikido is a family like environment and an excellent place for kids and adults to be a part of while growing physically and spiritually. This is a very supportive community.

We send our sons here (ages 7 and 11) and it has been an amazing experience for both of them. Perfect balance of discipline, fun, hard work, positive reinforcement. Warm community atmosphere, traditional instruction. Can’t say enough good things. The adult classes are equally impressive, with practitioners who’ve been there for many years.

Such an excellent dojo, and I got to train alongside such wonderful people (teachers and students alike). I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to just try Aikido out, and this is a great place to practice!

Aikido is addictive, and Peachtree Aikikai is a fantastic place to practice. They offer classes everyday, sometimes twice a day. I particularly like the morning classes; I can get my workout in, clean up (they have showers), and make it into work on time. What a great place to practice self defense!

My partner and I tried their Sunday free open mat, and Binh was a great instructor showing us the basics of what Aikido is about. We're grateful to have spent some time in their dojo.
