An Aikido-first dojo teaching traditional martial arts to every age and level — with the patience, respect, and community that keeps families coming back for years.
Your first class is free — select programs include a free first month and uniform.
It took a while to find a dojo that worked for us. We wanted a place that was serious about learning a martial art but also fun and supportive. This place is that and more. Sensei Matt and Sensei JP are wonderful.
The Aikido classes are nothing less than exquisite. You can't find better instruction than Werth Sensei.
It's helped him focus in school and improved his confidence. A true sense of community.
I finally came in to try a few classes. I didn't realize how much fun it was — I'm really mad at myself for not coming in sooner.
Super friendly, clean, and knowledgeable staff. MSMA even offers Zen meditation as part of the Aikido curriculum.
From the flowing circles of Aikido to the sword forms of Iaido, every art here is taught with the same care — real tradition, real lineage, real community.
Our heart and foundation — Aikikai Aikido with Hombu Dojo lineage, plus Zen meditation as part of the practice.
Traditional ITF Taekwon-Do — dynamic kicking, forms, and discipline for kids and adults.
Okinawan and Shotokan karate — striking fundamentals, kata, and character built one belt at a time.
The art of the katana, plus bokken, jo, and tanto — precision, focus, and centuries of tradition.
Practical, empowering self-defense in a supportive, judgment-free setting.
Kids Aikido, a Black Belt Club, after-school youth leadership, summer camp, and birthday parties.
