A great dojo for both beginners and experienced practitioners. I highly recommend aikido to anyone who's interested in martial arts as a practice, but may not be interested in aggressive sparring. Malory-sensei is an excellent teacher and I learn something new every class.
As someone new to martial arts, I was a bit nervous about starting out. They have a very attractive beginner's package, and I was able to sit in on a class before committing. Once I started attending practice, I was able to pick up the material quickly thanks to the one-on-one practice we get with other students as well as the teacher. It's a great community of people: everyone is welcoming and patient. The classes are well attended but not too crowded.
