My Review by saraht2108766679 via Citysearch on 9/16/2013
My son has been practicing at Brooklyn Aikikai for close to two years. We have continually been impressed with Kate Sensei and other instructors who patiently and consistently guide the kids each week. The teachers expect a lot of the…
An Authentic Practice by tapbarry via Citysearch on 1/12/2009
I've been practicing at Brooklyn Aikikai for about 5 months now and really enjoy it. It is challenging, but with that challenge comes growth. Sensei Savoka keeps the practice very clear and is dedicated to the Dojo and his students. The…
Great Training, Excellent Instruction, and Supportive Students by greycloak via Citysearch on 5/9/2008
I have been training at Brooklyn Aikikai for 4 months now, and I think it is an amazing training environment. The training (aikido, zazen, and misogi chanting) is extremely challenging. Savoca Sensei is an incredible instructor. And the…
An enriching place by JonathanR2008 via Citysearch on 4/28/2008
Training at Brooklyn Aikikai has been transformative. I've been training for almost four months and have found the stress of work and city life don't get to me like they used to. I'm generally more calm and present than I've ever been. …
Beginners warmly welcomed by CNuut via Citysearch on 4/28/2008
I had always wanted to dedicate myself to a martial art but I worried about my physical strength, my abilities, my time constraints, etc. Before I joined I had no experience with any martial art, I had never done any kind of fighting, I…
Excellent dojo by AldSannes via Citysearch on 4/17/2008
I have been training at this dojo for a couple of months. It has a very serious and quality level of instruction.\r
Sensei is very sensitive of what happens on the mat. He can literally hear how heavy everyone's breath is and adjust the…
Amazing teacher! by skiankook via Citysearch on 5/21/2007
I had the honor of training at Brooklyn Aikikai with Savoca Sensei for about a year and a half. I have the utmost respect for him. His sustained dedication and commitment to Aikido and Zen training are truly inspirational. And humbling. I…
Brooklyn Aikikai - The Real Deal! by barrybichard via Citysearch on 4/3/2007
I'm writing this review from Toronto, Canada. As a close student of Sensei T.K. Chiba, Shihan, Savoca Sensei of Brooklyn Aikikai is highly respected within the Aikido communities of The US and Canada. After seeing him at Aikido Summercamp…
truly special and rewarding training by konradical via Citysearch on 1/24/2007
It's a level of martial arts training that's almost impossible to find these days - the chance to learn from someone who's devoted his life to the practice, as it was in the "old days."\r

Aikido is best known as "the martial art where…
high level instruction by mbrenbrook via Citysearch on 1/22/2007
I?ve been practicing Aikido at Brooklyn Aikikai for the past year, and here are some of my observations: \r
\r
1) The ratio of black belts to beginners at this dojo is something like 5 to 1. So beginners, like me, are constantly benefiting…
dedicated instructors, perfect balance of spirituality and practicality by pupkin via Citysearch on 1/19/2007
If you are looking for a dojo to practice aikido then Brooklyn Aikikai would definitely be the place worth checking out. I encourage you to stop by watch the class to see if it's right for you.
Great Community / Environment, Outstanding Physical Training by mrobinson99 via Citysearch on 1/18/2007
I wasn't really sure what I was getting into when I joined the dojo. A friend had encouraged me to try a martial art. Brooklyn Aikikai happened to be the closest to where I lived, so I dove in head first. What I found was so much more…
Traditional Aikikdo, Great instructor, friendly community, by j_coletti via Citysearch on 1/12/2007
I've been training at Brooklyn Aikikai for over a year now and it's an amazing place. I've learned a great deal since i started training, not only about martial technique but about myself. I feel very fortunate to have found this dojo and…
Excellent even for kids as young as 3! by mimayv via Citysearch on 1/10/2007
I highly recommend their Aikido class for 3-5 year olds. My son (4 years old) has attended the class now regularly for 4 months. The teacher Kate is exceptional. She finds such a good balance between discipline and humor and keeps the…
outstanding traditional aikido dojo by inthehole via Citysearch on 1/4/2007
I've been training at Brooklyn Aikikai for about a year, having trained in aikido elsewhere for another two years. This is a very serious, community-oriented dojo-- thanks to the dedicated efforts of Savoca Sensei as well as all of the…
Great with kids! by vfaith via Citysearch on 12/30/2006
I accidently found Brooklyn Aikikai while surfing the net, in hope of finding yet another activity for our son to partake in. I was amazed and pleased, to see/feel the positve aura that the dojo has. You see, the dojo isn't overwhelmingly…
Good times and training! by gnosticdj via Citysearch on 12/30/2006
I have trained several martial arts and aikido with several styles and dojos, this is undoubtedly the best training I have experienced. If you are interested in an authentic martial arts experience, check this out. The school is very…
Beginners welcome! by kategrennan via Citysearch on 12/29/2006
The training at this school is serious and there is a real feeling of community in everything they do. When I joined as a new student (a few years ago) I was warmly welcomed in and taught the basics by Savoca Sensei and the senior…
Serious training, great people by rthree via Citysearch on 9/19/2006
Undoubtedly the best aikido dojo in Brooklyn, if not the whole city. Savoca Sensei is close student of Chiba Shihan, who has been to the dojo for seminars every year. The training is serious and very martial, and the students have…
