Traditional Aikido for Greater Los Angeles

Besides learning self-defense, Aikido provides many physical and mental benefits to those who practice it. It is a true budo or Martial Way that evolved in the historic tradition of Japanese martial arts. Studied in earnest, budo is more than martial techniques, it transcends as a discipline for polishing the human spirit.

Located in Monterey Park, Southland Aikido provides Aikido and Iaido instruction for the Los Angeles community, just minutes away from the campuses of Cal State L.A. and East L.A. College.

I enjoy the training environment and level of Aikido experience at Southland Aikido tremendously. If you are looking for a place to practice and grow, this is the dojo to do it in.

A wonderful place to learn a great martial art. I enjoy practicing the art and the fitness and health benefits it brings.
