My daughter love ❤️ the Aikido Japanese Martial Art Class. Sensei Peal is a dedicated teacher with excellent skills and experience with children. He works with each kid to grow their individual talents not only on techniques or weapons. The children are learning Respect,Focus,Self Awareness ,Dicipline and Fitness.

Love the light saber nights, and Sensei Arturo is great! He is safety-minded AND fun, which is a great combination.

I have trained here for 5 years now. The Senseis have different styles that are very complementary. They are very supportive and give you room to grow at your own pace. I much appreciate my colleague students, some of them I have known for as long as 5 years. They are fun and supportive. Last but not least; I think we are one of the few Dojos that have a floor like us: the floor is supported by foam blocks, which makes it comfortable and bouncy.

My son and I have both been training here for years. Aikido of New Orleans is just fantastic. The kids class has noticeably improved my son's coordination, confidence, and focus. The space is beautiful and the people you will meet here are great too. Thank you.
