Full disclosure; I started practicing with LIA in 1987. I moved to Maryland in 2011, but whenever I…read moreget back to LI, I practice there. This is THE place to practice on Long Island. Hagihara sensei (a first generation aikidoist) has been teaching since 1964. All the instructors at LIA are his students, and they are all extremely talented, yet each has a different approach. Some are trained in multiple martial arts. All care deeply about teaching. The mat space is big (except when there are huge seminars), and cleaned daily by the students. There are even "lounging areas" to accommodate parties (which occur often), or just the times when people want to chill after class with a drink. The only downside - it doesn't *look* like a dojo from outside. So if you're casually driving by, you might miss it.

He has variety of classes available. From toddlers, teens and adults. He also has classes for Women's Self Defense and Cardio Kickboxing. The best part of this center is that unlike other places we didn't need to sign a contract. My husband is very particular in some things, but he definitely enjoys attending Brian's classes.

I cannot say enough good things about this establishment…read more.. My daughter has experienced nothing but a warm, positive environment, with patient, and exuberant instructors who always seem to know the exact moment to redirect and refocus her. I want to mention that I had taken my daughter there last week for her BTC class, and we were late (got our schedules crossed). Well, one of the instructors, Brian, politely came over and asked if he could take my daughter aside to help her with some kicks and do some drills. My daughter was so happy to have that quality time, and it made her (as well as my) day. I had told Chris Gates this story, and he humbly told me that he teaches his instructors that anytime is a good time for a lesson. He added that, if there is a free instructor, that they should seek to teach. His influence is obvious, and his instructors follow that mantra religiously. A top-notch place, and one that I will always sing praises about. PS: If your child has ADHD (like mine), then he/she will most certainly benefit from enrolling in one of Chris Gates' classes. It's made a positive difference in my daughter's life, and something i believe will make her a stronger, more confident adult.

He is tough but kind and makes his teaching practical and real-life applicable. He does more than show "how"; he shows "why" too, which is an important aspect of teaching. This is no belt-selling program. It's a tough workout and translates to being able to fight in real life. Coach Ray has my approval and certainly has my son's too.
