What students have said about Castle Rock AIKIDO...
"The dojo setting is not intimidating and while the students work hard and focus intently on their practice, don't be surprised when, every now and then, you see some big smiles on the mat or hear an occasional large laugh straight from the 'Hara.' "

"Castle Rock Aikido has offered the two of us an adult activity we could participate in as a couple - and stick with... A great work out to be sure, Aikido has also helped us interact more harmoniously with each other as well as our children."
- Brandon & Erin
Students from Parker
"Aikido offers both physical and mental exercise, not to mention a lifelong martial arts activity. I have been waiting for Aikido to come to Castle Rock for quite some time and it certainly has not disappointed... These are all forms of meditation for me. The great thing about Aikido is that after a long day at work I can clear my head and focus on training and learn the art of Aikido."
- Doug
Aikido Student from Castle Rock
"As an older student and one who is of small stature, I was somewhat reluctant to jump right in and actively participate in all the training exercises... I have developed a greater self awareness and new found energy I didn't know existed. I find each class fascinating and deeply satisfying and look forward to the next class with excitement."
- Paul
Aikido Student form Parker
"I have always wanted to study traditional Japanese Aikido (instead of the 'Americanized' Aikido/Ju-Jitsu/Karate system I studied in college) and your program is more than I could have asked for. The instruction is great, you guys are very professional and respectful towards the students. The students are respectful and helpful towards each other, and I'm having a LOT of fun."
- James
Aikido Student from Roxborough
" I REALLY enjoy training at Castle Rock AIKIDO! The first time I walked in the door I immediately felt an energy permeating throughout. You really have to experience it yourself to understand!"
– Russel
Aikido Student from Thornton
"After a quick try-out at Castle Rock AIKIDO,
I was hooked! I like the way they teach the principles of Aikido in this well-managed martial arts school - principles such as using the opponent’s power, maintaining one’s balance, being alert yet relaxed. It’s been a road to not only physical fitness but mental growth as well.
The instructors are amazing. They can easily break down a complex sequence of Aikido moves into their component pieces that are easy to follow. I’ve found a kinship here in this dojo and I’m fortunate to have it around my neighborhood."

"Aikido is the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. (Because of Aikido) I've cut my caffeine to nearly nothing (and now) I'm 100% nicotine-free. You have a great 'place of training' and first class personnel."
– Rob
Aikido Student from Aurora
"I like the sense of awareness that comes with Aikido - the connection of mind and body - and the ability to use Aikido everyday to practice the art in all facets of my life. I really benefit from having the connection to something larger then myself through movement and focus... It's fantastic to be able to feel the great energy which is being infused into our new dojo.

"Aikido is an awesome way to let go of the day, and to spend time taking care of myself. Aikido is a defensive martial art in which we align ourselves with the attack instead of battling it head on. Amazingly, this approach produces tremendous power! By using this philosophy in my business, by aligning with the needs and wants of my clients, I find my work goes much more smoothly and my business is growing!

""...the atmosphere is extraordinarily friendly and encouraging... All of the students are eager to learn and to participate, and the mature yet relaxed atmosphere is an added bonus. The instructors are top notch; they teach you to crack the façade of a stressful mind and teach you to fill in the gaps with the focus, patience, and ease that are so unique to a martial art... the class offers the opportunity to learn to change your life for the better through these principles of Aikido; I definitely recommend studying at the Castle Rock AIKIDO dojo to anyone who is looking for this opportunity."

" Aikido has been great for me. It allows me to feel empowered and is a great stress reducer. The instructors have been awesome and the students have always been supportive and made me feel welcome. Even when I don't feel like going to class, by the time it's over I feel great. I am not that big in stature, and at first I was a bit intimidated by some of the larger guys in class, but Aikido isn't about size it's about power, personal power, not power over others."
