I like Aikido because I can learn to defend myself without other people's help.

Learner Centric Approach
A 4-year-old child picks up Aihanmi Ikkyo Omote after hearing a Lion story, while a 40-year-old adult refines his grip for Morotedori Ikkyo Omote. We tailor lessons to each student’s age and needs, using everything from stories to hands-on practice for effective learning.
Conducive Setting
A welcoming environment with a positive atmosphere. We provide a range of carefully chosen materials, equipment, and resources, all designed to enhance learning and ensure safety. The space is thoughtfully set up to support tots, children, teens and adults of varying skill levels.
Inspiring Teachers
Fun, passionate, yet highly demanding, our teachers bring their unique personalities and charisma to engage students. Their enthusiasm and dedication inspire children and adults to develop a deep passion for Aikido and a love for continuous growth.
Building Excellence
Rome was not built in a day, and neither is excellence. It is all about the details. We create checklists, we name each step in a technique, and provide specific scores for grading. We encourage children and adults alike to challenge themselves, aim higher, and keep pushing their limits.
Comprehensive Support
We support our students in every way: updating resources, tracking progress, offering extra help when needed, and keeping in touch regularly. At aikiForest, we stay flexible and adjust to meet our students' (and parents') changing needs.
Holistic Development
Life at aikiForest is about Aikido — and so much more! Besides classes, events, seminars, and overseas trips, we provide internships, trainee teacher opportunities, and continuous support for our students, from their early years as children to adulthood, even as they venture abroad.
