Top notch Aikido school you will not be disappointed. Great instruction, people and great for older kids through seniors.

Izawa Sensei and the senior students at Tanshinjuku have created a wonderful environment where many styles are welcome, techniques are explored in depth and there is abundant patience for beginners and new members. In my practice over the last 20 years, Ive never seen a place with more positive energy or dynamic Aikido. This dojo is one of a kind!

Great place to learn a martial art. Izawa Sensei is a very warm personality, is incredibly knowledgeable, and takes great care in his instruction. The dojo atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, yet takes training seriously.

I have belonged to several Aikido dojos of different styles over the years. Despite coming from a different style, I was very openly and warmly welcomed here by both the instructors and students.There is a lot of patience shown as I, and others, learn new techniques. Izawa Sensei is very approachable and gives lots of individual attention to his students. He provides good instruction but then allows plenty of time for students to deepen in practicing the techniques. He often does progressions with increasing intensity after a warming up period, so both new students and veterans wind up having lots of fun. Beginners are taught separately when appropriate.It is serious Aikido but in a very warm and fun environment. I recommend this dojo highly for beginners and veterans alike!

I have been practicing under Sensei Izawa for around ten years and I have had a wonderful experience. Senseis emphasis on flow, posture, and proper form has helped me feel comfortable when visiting Dojos throughout the US and abroad. The members of Tanshinjuku are Martial, yet kind, and help create an atmosphere where you can learn and grow!Steve

I have been training with Izawa Sensei and Tanshinjuku for 9 years. There is a great community of both white and black belts there that are very supportive and also have a great martial attitude. Izawa Senseis Aikido is very dynamic. He is also a fantastic teacher, there is always something new to learn from him, and his classes are always fun.

I have trained with Izawa sensei and Tanshinjuku over the last six years. They have a great program and the Aikido is very strong and dynamic. I would recommend this dojo, and encourage you to go see for yourself. Hope to train with them again in the near future. Best of luck to Izawa sensei and his great group of instructors and students!

Tanshinjuku means place to forge ones heart and this spirit permeates the dojo and informs the practice there. Under Izawa Senseis careful instruction, anyone with the desire to study Aikido can join and practice in the traditional way and it is as close to my experience in Japan as any dojo in N. America. The people are friendly and the practice is focused and I recommend it highly for anyone seeking to engage in the kinesthetic (body-mind-spirit) learning process at the heart of Aikido.
