Lemon Hill Aikido

Lemon Hill Aikido is the real deal. Andres Sensei has powerful aikido, and is a thoughtful and dedicated teacher who is sincerely interested in developing your spirit as well as your physical practice. When I have trained here for seminars, I have found the training serious, the energy level high, and the community supportive.

I've been training at Lemon Hill Aikido for three months now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The environment is incredibly beginner-friendly, which made it easy for me to dive into learning the art of Aikido. Andres Sensei is not only highly skilled but also very approachable and patient. He takes the time to ensure that everyone understands the techniques and feels comfortable during practice. I've already noticed significant improvements in my skills and confidence thanks to his guidance.

Been going here for a few months now. Training here has been enlightening, constructive and fun! Most unique feature is meditation; a pleasantly unexpected experience that supports my Aikido and my personal life. Highly recommend training here!!!!

I have previously practiced Aikido and other martial arts at other Dojos, but Lemon Hill Aikido is truly special. The training done here (both Aikido and Zen) is extremely rigorous and disciplined. I have never faced myself more intensely than I have in the practice done at this Dojo. Both of my teachers, Cruciani and Cobrin Sensei, have given me everything they can, and more, in order for me to improve myself - not just in Aikido - but as a person. Their dedication and practice has cultivated a community composed of fellow students that share the same mindset and goals. It has been a genuine pleasure to walk the path with everyone here and I hope to do so for many years to come.

Lemon Hill Aikido has introduced me to Aikido. I started with zero knowledge of what I was getting into and no martial arts experience. My teachers (Andrés and Spencer) are kind but rigorous and have gladly given me the attention and teaching I need to learn and grow as a student. Having said that, there is no coddling here and if you are looking for a challenge of mind and body, this is the place.
