Sensei Ross is an extremely talented, dedicated and honorable martial artist. A consummate professional in every sense of the word. I have had nothing but good experiences with West Coast Aikido, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. If you're interested in learning traditional Japanese martial arts, this is the place to go. Five stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Discrimination at its finest. If you done something they will judge you and don't want you to come to their facilities. Will not be letting this go and will ensure the world knows that even you get accused for something you didn't do west coast aikido will judge you. Be warned they are rude judgemental and discriminate

I did the “Aiki Fitness Sessions” in this academy for few months and I really enjoyed my training sessions. I’m very happy and satisfied with the training programs the professional fitness training coach “Matt” gave me. Every session was different and challenging. I could see the results in the first month!
The Academy also has a very safe environment and all the professional coaches are so polite and friendly. It’s a great choice for the families to bring their children to train. Highly recommended!
Thanks West Coast Aikido for giving me a great experience!

As a current customer, I enrolled my daughter to this class so she can build her confidence and increase her self esteem as she is a shy girl.
After being with Westcoast Aikido in the last 9months, her confidence increased, she made many friends and totally enjoying her trainings.
Senseis and trainers are very attentive in making sure their students techniques are correct and also having fun at the same time.
Keep up the great work and looking forward to more great sessions with this organisation.

WCAAWA is a warm and friendly environment to learn martial arts. The learning is very structured which allows you to monitor your progress with regular grading opportunities. The students are all good people who are fun to train with. The Aikido taught by sensei Ross is based on the traditional samurai methods and using wooden weapons is incorporated into the training too. There are several different instructors which gives the opportunity to enjoy different teaching methods. I really enjoy learning with sensei Ross and if you want learn a martial arts which isn't repetitive or boring i think this

At 61, I was encouraged to try Aikido as a martial art to increase fitness and maintain health. I have found West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy to be a very welcoming group. The instructors have been sensitive to my age and pains and have been patient in instructing me as a beginner. Having their own property as a dojo is an advantage which allows the individual some freedom in choosing class times that best suit. I anticipate adding reviews as I continue on this journey of learning optimal self defence.

A school dedicated to the Art of Aikido that improves so many aspects of the student. Self confidence, relationship building, balance, strength, goal setting and awareness, to name a few. I have found it to be… a family friendly dojo where parents are sitting and watching their children be taught by Sensei Taylor and his Instructors. There are always events, seminars, grading days, etc. throughout the year to keep it vibrant, and physical fitness classes from qualified instructors for everyone and anyone to use. As such I highly recommend West Coast Aikido Martial Arts Academy to the Family
