The instruction is top-notch, the team is tough, experienced athletes, and the facilities are vast. Classes include MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, fitness, open mat, and kids classes. There are entire families that train there (kids and parents). People from all walks of life and all experience levels. Prices are competitive with gyms of this caliber and offer a week of free classes for first time students.

As soon as I got to The Dojo I knew I'd found the Martial Arts school I'd been looking for. This…read moreplace is fun and friendly, and they have quietly turned out champions for years. Everyone made me feel welcome, and the training is extremely effective. It doesn't take long in the entry level Skills Lab to build striking and ground skills that are designed for someone who might really need to use them - in the cage, or on the street. The classes are fast-paced and I always end up getting a great workout almost without realizing it. The Art is definitely a fusion - Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling, Boxing, Catch, Silat, Kali come in to play (to name a few.) I love the Sila Yoga. The Dojo is the only place in the US you can learn it, and it is so different from any other style of yoga I've tried! It definitely builds strength as well as flexibility, and I love the way it uses the animal movements and postures. These guys do a lot of outdoor training too, and classes at the park or seminars in the mountains have been some of my favorite training here. Last but not least, The Dojo is the regional training center for C.O.B.R.A. Self-Defense Systems. C.O.B.R.A Self Defense's scenario based and police academy style training really set it apart as far as effectiveness and how simple it is to apply for anyone. It's so important to have a real, tested self defense program that any age or experience level can really use when they need it. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere is very welcoming, friendly, and relaxed. All ages and sizes are encouraged to attend and the instruction is second to none. The dojo has become like my second home. O'Hara Sensei brings over 18 years of martial arts training to bear. And, while his advanced training can be very practical and precise, he encourages all students to explore and find their own "AiKi" methods. In the end, Aikido is about improving yourself. From the first day I have been learning and I continue to learn more with every class. This summer, Fort Collins Aikikai is actually providing FREE classes on Tuesdays. This is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone who has been curious about self-defense but, maybe, has been deterred by the cost. The only detractor is that the practice space is a little difficult to find. We work out in a community space that is not well marked located next to Fusion Massage. There is another Aikido dojo just around the corner with a HUGE sign. That is the wrong place. The dojo does NOT face Mason St. It is located in the parking lot complex that contains the Foundations Music School. This is NOT "Aikido of Fort Collins"! Fort Collins Aikikai is not a business. It is an Aikido club, made up of individuals who are interested in learning and sharing the philosophy and art of Aikido.
