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.

Southland Aikido is great place to train if you’re looking to practice traditional martial arts. It is a community of good people with diverse backgrounds and years of Aikido experience.
